I would like to provide the chapter title and the verse number for each entry in the index. This is unusual but the book I am working on requires such formatting.
In the output I want the chapter title to appear between the indexed text and the verse number. For verses I am using the verse environment but do not show here. In the output shown below, the first line is the header, repeated on each page of the index. Then, based on the three example verses, the desired output: Indexed text, Chapter Name, Verse Number. Fairest... First... 1 decease... Second... 1 thine... Third... 4 I would like to suppress page numbers in the index. \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book} \usepackage{index} \usepackage{idxlayout} \makeindex \begin{document} \printindex \chapter*{First} From \index*{fairest} creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die ... |1| \chapter*{Second} But as the riper should by time \index*{decease}, His tender heir might bear his memory ... |1| \chapter*{Third} But thou contracted to \index*{thine} own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel ... |4| \end{document}
