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, ...; 10 characters) of the gojuon
table (Japanese syllabary). By default, all 48 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. This is useful when the input file
name starts with '-'.
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 in Kanji or symbols to phonogram scripts by referring to Japanese
dictionaries.
Examples of internal simplification of syllables are shown below.
ãã¶ãããããã ããµãããããã
ãããã³ããã·ã¥ ã¾ã¤ããã¨ã¤ãã
ã¯ã¼ãã ãããµã
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 can be in any phonograms such
as 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.
æ¼¢å ããã
èªã¿ ãã¿
ç°å¢ ããããã
ï¼ ãã«
Here, each index word is allowed to have only one Yomi. Though some kanji words (ex.
ã表ã) may have more than one Yomi´s (ex. ãã²ããã and ãããã¦ã), 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{ã²ãã@表} or
\index{ããã¦@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 indãã¡ã¤ã«
indãã¡ã¤ã« 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.
