I like to print index entries in the following latex file with some fancy style, like horizontal lines as seperator between different index entries beginning with a new alphabet or have on letter of alphabet printed. I used these fancy styles a while ago but somehow lost the latex sources and do not remember how to change the activate that option.
Currently following is the index output:
Index
background, 1
H.264, 2
UMTS, 3
I would like something like:
Index
----B-----
background, 1
----H-----
H.264, 2
----U-----
UMTS, 3
Here is the latex file.tex:
Code:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\usepackage{glossary}
\makeglossary
\author{Luqman Munawar}
\title{Results of Simulation}
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
Some text in abstract
\end{abstract}
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\printglossary
\pagebreak
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\chapter{Background}
\label{chap:background}
Here I will write\index{Writing} some information\index{Information} on background\index{background} of the project.
\chapter{H.264}
\label{chap:h.264}
Here I will write some information\index{Information} on H.264\index{H.264}.
\chapter{UMTS}
\label{chap:umts}
Here I will write some information\index{Information} on UMTS\index{UMTS}.
\printindex
\end{document}
Any hint or pointer to documentation is much appreciated. I did search in the Internet for "latex index styles" or "latex index" but did not find any relevant document.
The closest I found was "Makeindex" by Peter Mosgen:
Code:
\begin{theindex}
{\bf H}
\indexspace
\item Heinrich-Heine-Universit\"at\dotfill 1
\indexspace
{\bf N}
\indexspace\nopagebreak%
\item Neurobiologie\dotfill 1
\end{theindex}
H
Heinrich-Heine-Universitat 1
N
Neurobiologie 1
I would like to avoid editing file.ind manually. Maybe there is an option that can be used to select the style in .tex file?
