A one-character control sequence belongs after a ` mark.
So I'm essentially inserting \0 here.
And there are many of these..
You would help me if you can give me all infos: What is your OS, what is
your LaTeX distribution? Can you please send me the LaTeX logfile you get
when compiling the Math manual as PDF(pdflatex)?
Ubuntu 10.4, texlive 2009-7. Log file attached.
I cannot reproduce your problems. It seems that either your installation of makeindex is corrupted
or you are using Xindy and it (or LyX) is misconfigured. Can you please do the following:
1. export the Math manual as latex(pdflatex)
2. from a console execute the command
pdflatex math.tex
3. the execute the command
makeindex math.idx
4. send me the created file "Math.ind"
5. execute the command
pdflatex math.tex
twice
Do you get a readable PDF including indices?
What do you have in your LyX preferences in the section Output->LaTeX under "Index
command"?
thanks and regards
