Makeindex

Since b0.6.7

When the makeindex setting in the run configuration is enabled, TeXiFy will handle makeindex for you. Makeindex is only run when you actually include an index package like imakeidx.

Makeindex will be run as a separate configuration, so you will see the output in a window next to your normal LaTeX output window. When you use the auxil/ or out/ directories, makeindex will be run there and the .ind file will be copied next to your main file so that the index package can find it.

Note that when you use imakeidx but no auxil/ or out/ then imakeidx will handle makeindex itself.

Note	If you use xindy but no auxil/ or out/ then in order to allow imakeidx to run xindy, you need to provide the -shell-escape custom compiler argument in the run configuration.

Example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{imakeidx}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
    Some random\index{random} text\index{text} which should be indexed\index{index}.
    \printindex
\end{document}

TeXiFy also supports using xindy (instead of makeindex) and a custom index name, for example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[xindy]{imakeidx}
\makeindex[name=myindex]
\begin{document}
    Some random\index[myindex]{random} text\index[myindex]{text} which should be indexed\index[myindex]{index}.

    \printindex[myindex]
\end{document}
