Re: Index problems

[webmaster]

Hello Uwe,
I gave it another try.
Now one after another, I changed the setup file from 'book' to my 
setup file.
I changed the value of 
@IndexWord to { Index_Main }
@IndexAWord to { Index_A } 
@MakeIndexA to { yes.}
 
I got the following:
For the indexA which comes first, you
get a headline 'Index_A' with the list of indices starting on the same 
page.
After that I got a seperate page with one line 'index' and
on the next page another headline 'Index_Main' together with the 
next indices (similar to indexA).

In between:
Is that behavior really wanted?
To my opinion then there should be a 
possibility for a seperate page for indexA also
or for ommitting the seperate 'index'-Page.

Now futher on:

The overall font size was {Times Base 12p}.
- I changed this to {AGaramond Regular  12p}. 
  Nothing unusual.

- I changed the @InitialBreak from {{adjust 1.2fx hyphen} to
  {lines 1.0fx hyphen} (because I wanted the lines in the index to be 
narrower and because of the bug in indexA I had to change this 
everywhere - with seperate  linespacing 1.4fx for the poems) 
  Nothing unusual.

- because I wanted the fontsize of the Indices smaller than on the 
other pages,  I changed @IndexFont and @IndexAFont from {  } to 
{AGaramond Regular  10p}.
  
  I got headline 'Index_A' with the list of indices starting on the 
same page  with a linespacing of 1.0fx. 
!! Now a first bug (?) !!
  There were three pages of indices for indexA. Now the headline 
'index',  which stood alone on one page before, had changed to the 
3. page as a headline !!! 
  The next page was seperate again but now with one line 
'Index_Main'   and on the following page started the list of indices 
for Index, but with a linespacing of 1.4fx (!!?)

  Any idea?

  There must be something wrong with the index and indexA 
referring to the seperate 'index'-page, no seperate 'indexA'-page 
and to fontsize and linespacing !

 greetings, george
