Aux2index.pl converts an SGML index file created by Collateindex.pl and adds 'hard-coded' page numbers. The program is a simple script.
Aux2index.pl is a useful and easy-to-use software script that can significantly simplify the task of generating an SGML index file, particularly when used in conjunction with collateindex.pl, which is part of Norman Walsh's DSSSL distribution. This powerful script 'hard-codes' page number references using the output of pdfjadetex and beautifully formats those numbers.
The OPTIONS of this software include an auxfile that is generated by pdfjadetex from the source SGML document and an indexfile that is generated by collateindex.pl from the source SGML document.
The EXAMPLE of Aux2index.pl usage involves running the script on your document with the specified auxfile and indexfile as parameters. This will allow you to generate an SGML index file that reflects page numbers hardcoded by the software script.
To use Aux2index.pl efficiently, you should run the script after generating your PDF output using pdfjadetex or similar software, but before deleting the .aux file that it has left behind. Then, after checking that the output is correct, you can rerun openjade and pdfjadetex as you normally would to include the new index.
Overall, Aux2index.pl is an excellent software tool that can make it much easier to generate an SGML index file with hardcoded page numbers, which is essential for many types of documentation. This powerful script is simple to use and provides many helpful features that can save you time and ensure that your finished documentation is of the highest quality.
