We have a "List of Indexes" in the ToC, but in the Document

Which one will it be ?
I'm no native speaker. I always thought the more usual plural of
index (at
least in scientific use) is "indices". According to my dictionaries,
both
"indices" and "indexes" are possible.
I'd say we let the native speakers decide.
My guess is that some will be confused by "indices" (which is less
common), but that no one would be confused by "indexes". Hence I'd
recommend "indexes".
Bennett
Richard,
Do you have an opinion on this subject ?
Both are in my dictionaries. I think "indexes" will definitely be less
confusing to non-native speakers, some of whom probably use LyX in
English. So I'll agree with Bennett.
