Perhaps... there isn't currently much in terms of styles for either
makeindex or xindy. But perhaps this will come once their use becomes
easier.
My idea with this facility is especially to make xindy accessible for
non-Ph.D's :-) as it is localizable contrary to vanilla makeindex. So it
fits in really well with LyX. The problem with xindy is, that it is
almost useless in raw form as it is no more or less than an esoteric
programming language. The xindy-make-rules package changes this, makes
the UI as simple as that of makeindex, while adding localization
support. All you need to call is
makeindex.sh -m finnish myfile
and that's it. Good enough for most people. But perhaps style support
would be the logical next step, if people would take up writing styles.
I said it before: to make this *really* easy we should have support also
for -m $$lang. How hard would this be?
