Subject: indexing and makeindx.exe (DOS)
Cc: adam@symcom.math.uiuc.edu
Content-Length: 518
I am using the indexing macros of eplain 2.6. If I give a command
like \sidx{help}, in the .idx file I see an entry of the form
\indexentry{help}{{\eightrm 1}}
But when I run makeindx.exe on the .idx file it complains with the
message
!! Input index error (file = thesis.idx, line = 1):
-- Illegal space within numerals in second argument
If I edit the .idx file to change the line to
\indexentry{help}{1}
everything works. What's going on and how can I fix it? Adam Lewenberg
