upmendex - Multilingual index processor
SYNOPSIS
upmendex [-ilqrcgf] [-s sty] [-d dic] [-o ind] [-t log] [-p no] [--] [ idx0 idx1 idx2 ...]
upmendex --help
DESCRIPTION
The program upmendex is a general purpose multilingual hierarchical index generator working with upLaTeX,
XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX; it accepts one or more input files (.idx; often produced by a text formatter such
as LaTeX families), sorts the entries, and produces an output file which can be formatted. It supports
Latin (including non-English), Greek, Cyrillic, Korean Hangul and Han (Hanzi ideographs) scripts, as well
as Japanese Kana. It is almost compatible with makeindex and mendex, and additional feature for handling
readings of kanji words is also available.
The formats of the input and output files are specified in a style file. The readings of kanji words can
be specified in a dictionary file.
The index can have up to three levels (0, 1, and 2) of subitem nesting.
OPTIONS
-i Take input from stdin, even when index files are specified.
-l Set ´sort by character order´. By default, ´sort by word order´ is used. Details are described
below.
-q Quiet mode; send no message to stderr, except error messages and warnings.
-r Disable implicit page range formation. By default, three or more successive pages are
automatically abbreviated as a range (e.g. 1–5).
-c Compress sequence of intermediate blanks (space(s) and/or tab(s)) into a space and ignore
leading and trailing blank(s). By default, blanks in the index key are retained.
-g Make Japanese index head A-line (A, Ka, Sa, ...) of the gojuon table (Japanese syllabary). By
default, all the characters in the gojuon table are used.
-f Force to output characters even if the scripts are not supported by upmendex.
-s sty Employ sty as the style file.
-d dic Employ dic as the dictionary file. The dictionary file is composed of lists of
<index_word reading>.
-o ind Employ ind as the output index file. By default, the file name is created by appending the
extension ind to the base name of the first input file.
-t log Employ log as the transcript file. By default, the file name is created by appending the
extension ilg to the base name of the first input file.
-p no Set the starting page number of the output index list to be no. The argument no may be
numerical or one of the following: any (the next page to the end of contents), odd (the next
odd page to the end of contents), even (the next even page to the end of contents).
--help Show summary of options.
-- Arguments after -- are not taken as options.
STYLE FILE
The style file informs upmendex about the format of the idx input files and the intended format of the
final output file. The format is upper compatible with the one for makeindex and mendex. The style file
contains a list of <specifier attribute> pairs. There are two types of specifiers: input and output.
Pairs do not have to appear in any particular order. A line begun by ´%´ is a comment.

ABOUT JAPANESE PROCESSING
upmendex has an additional feature to simplify the procedure of handling Japanese indexes, compared to
makeindex. Users can save the effort of manually specifying a reading for every kanji word.
Japanese kanji words are usually sorted by the syllables of their readings (´Yomi´), which can be
represented by kana (Hiragana, Katakana) scripts. upmendex accepts index words specified in kana
expression directly on an input file, and also accepts conversion from index words to kana scripts by
referring to Japanese dictionaries.
Examples of internal simplification of syllables are shown below.
かぶしきがいしゃ かふしきかいしや
マッキントッシュ まつきんとつしゆ
ワープロ わあふろ
The dictionary file consists of list with <´index_word´ ´reading´>. The index word can be written in any
scripts (kanji, kana, etc), and the reading must be in Hiragana or Katakana scripts. The delimiter
between the index word and its reading is one or more tab(s) or space(s).
An example of a Japanese dictionary is shown below.
漢字 かんじ
読み よみ
環境 かんきょう
α アルファ
Here, each index word is allowed to have only one Yomi. Though some kanji words (ex. 「表」) may have
more than one Yomi´s (ex. 「ひょう」 and 「おもて」), only one of them can be registered in the
dictionary. When some different Yomi´s are needed, they should be specified explicitly in kana
expression (ex. \index{ひょう@表} or \index{おもて@表}) on the input file.
Moreover, a dictionary file is automatically referred by setting the file name at an environment variable
INDEXDEFAULTDICTIONARY. The dictionary set by the environment variable can be used together with file(s)
specified by -d option.
ABOUT SORTING PROCEDURE
upmendex sorts indexes as is (´sort by word order´) by default. Setting -l option, spaces between words
in an index are truncated prior to sorting procedure (´sort by character order´).
Even when sort by character order, the index at output remains the original sequence without the
truncation.
Follows show an example.
sort by word order sort by character order

Xlib XView
XView X Window
In addition, two sorting methods can be applied for indexes which contains both Japanese kana and other
scripts (e.g. Latin script). By setting priority 0 (default) and 1 at a style file, a space between
Japanese Kana and other scripts is inserted and not inserted respectively, prior to the sorting
procedure.
Follows show an example.
priority=0 priority=1
index sort indファイル
indファイル index sort
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
upmendex refers environment variables as follows.
INDEXSTYLE
Directory where index style files exist.
INDEXDEFAULTSTYLE
Index style file to be referred to as default.
INDEXDICTIONARY
Directory where dictionary files exist.
INDEXDEFAULTDICTIONARY
Dictionary file which is automatically read.
DETAIL
Detailed specification is compatible with makeindex.
KNOWN ISSUES
When plural page number expression is used, .idx files should be specified along with the order of page
numbers. Otherwise, wrong page numbers might be output.
