I emailed the following last November, but I don't recall receiving any feedback.
Does anyone have a tool for automaticlly adding index entries for LyX? I thought there was a ruby script, but I can't find it now. I already have the list of terms to index. I don't want to manually as this list has a few hundred terms. (The book documents a software that has many options.) I can manually clean up after faster than I can insert manually. Jeremy C.

I am attempting to index a 125 page (or so) book that documents around 320 commands. I am attempting to use the sed and awk scripts from http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/lyx-automatic-index-generation.html The first script, sedscr_list_index_items, I downloaded had two bugs -- white space at end of #! line and a space in the expressiion after end_inset. I removed those and it seemed to work. The sedscr_delete_index_items and the awkscr_create_index_items scripts both appeared to work. Although I decided to create my own index items list (with semicolons at end of each line). The awkscr_insert_index_items does nothing for me. It returns in a few seconds. I using nawk version 20050424. I also tried GNU Awk 3.1.5. Any suggestions? Looking closer I now see the awk script is for older LyX format. I can update it ... but before I do, does anyone have an updated or different auto-indexer to try? Thanks, Jeremy C. Reed
