./textproc/makeindexk, General purpose hierarchical index generator

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.18, Package name: makeindexk-2.18, Maintainer: minskim

The program makeindex is a general purpose hierarchical index
generator; it accepts one or more input files (often produced by a
text formatter such as TeX or troff, sorts the entries, and produces
an output file which can be formatted. The index can have up to three
levels (0, 1, and 2) of subitem nesting. The way in which words are
flagged for indexing within the main document is specific to the
formatter used; makeindex does not automate the process of selecting
these words. As the output index is hierarchical, makeindex can be
considered complimentary to the awk-based make.index system of Bentley
and Kernighan, which is specific to troff, generates non-hierarchical
indices, and employs a much simpler syntax for indicating index
entries.

texlive: update to TeXLive 2021

General:
* Donald Knuth’s changes for his 2021 tuneup of TeX and Metafont are
  incorporated (https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-1/tb130knuth-tuneup21.pdf). They
  are also available on CTAN as the knuth-dist and knuth-local packages. As
  expected, the fixes are for obscure cases and do not affect any behavior in
  practice.
* Except in original TeX: if \tracinglostchars is set to 3 or more, missing
  characters will result in an error, not just a message in the log file, and
  the missing character code will be shown in hex.
* Except in original TeX: a new integer parameter \tracingstacklevels, if
  positive, and \tracingmacros is also positive, causes a prefix indicating the
  macro expansion depth to be output on each relevant log line (e.g., ~.. at
  depth 2). Also, macro logging is truncated at a depth ≥ the parameter value.

Aleph: The Aleph-based LaTeX format, named lamed, has been removed. The aleph
  binary itself is still included and supported.

LuaTeX:
* Lua 5.3.6.
* Callback for nesting level used in \tracingmacros, as generalized variant
  of the new \tracingstacklevels.
* Mark math glyphs as protected to prevent processing as text.
* Removed width/ic compensation for traditional math code path.

MetaPost:
* SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable support for reproducible output.
* Avoid wrong final % in mpto.
* Document -T option, other fixes to manual.
* Value of epsilon changed in binary and decimal modes, so mp_solve_rising_cubic
  works as expected.

pdfTeX:
* New primitives \pdfrunninglinkoff and \pdfrunninglinkon; e.g., for
  disabling generation of links in headers and footers.
* Warn instead of aborting when “\pdfendlink ended up in different nesting
  level than \pdfstartlink”.
* Dump \pdfglyphtounicode assignments in fmt file.
* Source: poppler support removed, as it was too hard to keep in sync with
  upstream. In native TL, pdfTeX has always used libs/xpdf, which is cut-down
  and adapted code from xpdf.

XeTeX: Fixes for math kerning.

Dvipdfmx:
* Ghostscript is now invoked safely by default; to override (assuming all
  input files are trusted), use -i dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg. To use PSTricks with
  XeTeX, this is required, as in:
   xetex -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -i dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg -q -E" ...
* If an image file is not found, exit with bad status.
* Extended special syntax for color support.
* Specials for manipulating ExtGState.
* Compatibility specials pdfcolorstack and pdffontattr.
* Experimental support for dviluatex’s extended fnt_def.
* Support new feature of virtual font to fallback Japanese font definition.

Dvips:
* Default PostScript document title is now the basename of the input file,
  and can be overridden with the new option -title.
* If an .eps or other image file is not found, exit with bad status.
* Support new feature of virtual font to fallback Japanese font definition.
