Indexing is a lot of work and must follow strict conventions, so that
the same word looks the same in all index entries referencing it, and in
order to avoid spurious multiple entries. Therefore, the author of a
document will most likely define special macros to make this easier. To
make @b{Ref@TeX{}} support for indexing possible, these special macros
must be added to @b{Ref@TeX{}}'s configuration (@pxref{Defining Index
Macros}).@refill
Indexing is a very difficult task. It must follow strict conventions to
make the index consistent and complete. There are basically two
approaches one can follow, and both have their merits.
@enumerate
@item
Part of the indexing should already be done with the markup. The
document structure should be reflected in the index, so when starting
new sections, the basic topics of the section should be indexed. If the
document contains definitions, theorems or the like, these should all
correspond to appropriate index entries. This part of the index can
very well be developed along with the document. Often it is worthwhile
to define special purpose macros which define an item and at the same
time make an index entry, possibly with special formatting to make the
reference page in the index bold or underlined. To make @b{Ref@TeX{}}
support for indexing possible, these special macros must be added to
@b{Ref@TeX{}}'s configuration (@pxref{Defining Index Macros}).@refill
@item
The rest of the index is often just a collection of where in the
document certain words or phrases are being used. This part is
difficult to develop along with the document, because consistent entries
for each occurrence are needed and are best selected when the document
is ready. @b{Ref@TeX{}} supports this with an @emph{index phrases file}
which collects phrases and helps indexing the phrases globally.@refill
@end enumerate
Before you start, you need to make sure that @b{Ref@TeX{}} knows about
the index style being used in the current document. @b{Ref@TeX{}} has
builtin support for the default @code{\index} and @code{\glossary}
macros. Other LaTeX packages, like the @file{multind} or @file{index}
package, redefine the @code{\index} macro to have an additional
argument, and @b{Ref@TeX{}} needs to be configured for those. A
sufficiently new version of AUCTeX (9.10c or later) will do this

is initialized by inserting a file header which contains the definition
of the available index macros. This list is initialized from
@code{reftex-index-macros} (@pxref{Defining Index Macros}). You can
edit the header as needed, but if you define new LaTeX indexing macros,
don't forget to add them to @code{reftex-index-macros} as well. Here is
a phrase file header example:@refill
There is also a command @code{reftex-index-globally}@footnote{This
function is still experimentally and may change or go away.} which
copies an index entry near point to other occurrences of the same word
in the document. @b{Ref@TeX{}} assumes that the word you want to index
is in direct contact with the index macro, e.g.
@samp{\index@{@var{word}@}@var{word}} or
@samp{@var{word}\index@{@var{word}@}}. If there is no such word, it
uses the key argument of the index macro. After making you confirm the
precise search and replace strings, a query-replace over the entire
document will be launched.

@cindex Collecting index phrases
@cindex Index phrases, collection
@cindex Phrases, collecting
Phrases for indexing can be collected while writing the document. The
command @kbd{C-c \} (@code{reftex-index-phrase-selection-or-word})
copies the current selection (if active) or the word near point into the
phrases buffer. It then selects this buffer, so that the phrase line
can be edited. To return to the LaTeX document, press @kbd{C-c C-c}
(@code{reftex-index-phrases-save-and-return}).
You can also prepare the list of index phrases in a different way and
copy it into the phrases file. For example you might want to start from
a word list of the document and remove all words which should not be
indexed.
The phrase lines in the phrase buffer must have a specific format.
@b{Ref@TeX{}} will use font-lock to indicate if a line has the proper
format. A phrase line looks like this:
@example
[@var{key}] <TABs> @var{phrase} [<TABs> @var{arg}[&&@var{arg}]... [ || @var{arg}]...]
@end example
@code{<TABs>} stands for white space containing at least one @key{TAB}.
@var{key} must be at the start of the line and is the character
identifying one of the macros defined in the file header. It is
optional - when omitted, the first macro definition line in the file
will be used for this phrase. The @var{phrase} is the phrase to be
searched for when indexing. It may contain several words separated by
spaces. By default the search phrase is also the text entered as
argument of the index macro. If you want the index entry to be
different from the search phrase, enter another @key{TAB} and the index
argument @var{arg}. If you want to have each match produce several
index entries, separate the different index arguments with @samp{ &&
}@footnote{@samp{&&} with optional spaces, see
@code{reftex-index-phrases-logical-and-regexp}.}. If you want to be
able to choose at each match between several different index arguments,
separate them with @samp{ || }@footnote{@samp{||} with optional spaces,
see @code{reftex-index-phrases-logical-or-regexp}.}. Here is an
example:@refill
@example
%--------------------------------------------------------------------
I Sun
i Planet Planets
i Vega Stars!Vega
Jupiter Planets!Jupiter
i Mars Planets!Mars || Gods!Mars || Chocolate Bars!Mars
i Pluto Planets!Pluto && Kuiper Belt Objects!Pluto
@end example
So @samp{Sun} will be indexed directly as @samp{\index*@{Sun@}}, while
@samp{Planet} will be indexed as @samp{\index@{Planets@}Planet}.
@samp{Vega} will be indexed as a subitem of @samp{Stars}. The
@samp{Jupiter} line will also use the @samp{i} macro as it was the first
macro definition in the file header (see above example). At each
occurrence of @samp{Mars} you will be able choose between indexing it as
a subitem of @samp{Planets}, @samp{Gods} or @samp{Chocolate Bars}.
Finally, every occurrence of @samp{Pluto} will be indexed as
@samp{\index@{Planets!Pluto@}\index@{Kuiper Belt Objects!Pluto@}Pluto}
and will therefore create two different index entries.@refill

@subsection Consistency Checks

@cindex Phrases, consistency checks
@cindex Consistency check for index phrases
@kindex C-c C-s
Before indexing the phrases in the phrases buffer, they should be
checked carefully for consistency. A first step is to sort the phrases
alphabetically - this is done with the command @kbd{C-c C-s}
(@code{reftex-index-sort-phrases}). It will sort all phrases in the
buffer alphabetically by search phrase. If you want to group certain
phrases and only sort within the groups, insert empty lines between the
groups. Sorting will only change the sequence of phrases within each
group (see the variable @code{reftex-index-phrases-sort-in-blocks}).@refill
@kindex C-c C-i
A useful command is @kbd{C-c C-i} (@code{reftex-index-phrases-info})
which lists information about the phrase at point, including an example
of how the index entry will look like and the number of expected matches
in the document.@refill
@kindex C-c C-t
Another important check is to find out if there are double or
overlapping entries in the buffer. For example if you are first
searching and indexing @samp{Mars} and then @samp{Planet Mars}, the
second phrase will not match because of the index macro inserted before
@samp{Mars} earlier. The command @kbd{C-c C-t}
(@code{reftex-index-find-next-conflict-phrase}) finds the next phrase in
the buffer which is either duplicate or a subphrase of another phrase.
In order to check the whole buffer like this, start at the beginning and
execute this command repeatedly.@refill

@subsection Global Indexing
@cindex Global indexing
@cindex Indexing, global
@cindex Indexing, from @file{phrases} buffer
Once the index phrases have been collected and organized, you are set
for global indexing. I recommend to do this only on an otherwise
finished document. Global indexing starts from the phrases buffer.
There are several commands which start indexing: @kbd{C-c C-x} acts on
the current phrase line, @kbd{C-c C-r} on all lines in the current
region and @kbd{C-c C-a} on all phrase lines in the buffer. It is
probably good to do indexing in small chunks since your concentration
may not last long enough to do everything in one go.@refill
@b{Ref@TeX{}} will start at the first phrase line and search the phrase
globally in the whole document. At each match it will stop, compute the
replacement string and offer you the following choices@footnote{Windows
users: Restrict yourself to the described keys during indexing. Pressing
@key{Help} at the indexing prompt can apparently hang Emacs.}:@refill
@table @kbd
@item y
Replace this match with the proposed string.
@item n
Skip this match.
@item !
Replace this and all further matches in this file.
@item q
Skip this match, start with next file.
@item Q

@item o
Select a different indexing macro for this match.
@item 1-9
Select one of multiple index keys (those separated with @samp{||}).
@item e
Edit the replacement text.
@item C-r
Recursive edit. Use @kbd{M-C-c} to return to the indexing process.
@item s
Save this buffer and ask again about the current match.
@item S
Save all document buffers and ask again about the current match.
@item C-g
Abort the indexing process.
@end table
The @samp{Find and Index in Document} menu in the phrases buffer also
lists a few options for the indexing process. The options have
associated customization variables to set the defaults (@pxref{Options
(Index Support)}). Here is a short explanation of what the options do:
@table @i
@item Match Whole Words
When searching for index phrases, make sure whole words are matched.
This should probably always be on.
@item Case Sensitive Search
Search case sensitively for phrases. I recommend to have this setting
off, in order to match the capitalized words at the beginning of a
sentence, and even typos. You can always say @emph{no} at a match you
do not like.
@item Wrap Long Lines
Inserting index macros increases the line length. Turn this option on
to allow @b{Ref@TeX{}} to wrap long lines.
@item Skip Indexed Matches
When this is on, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will at each match try to figure out if
this match is already indexed. A match is considered indexed if it is
either the argument of an index macro, or if an index macro is directly
(without whitespace separation) before or after the match. Index macros
are those configured in @code{reftex-index-macros}. Intended for
re-indexing a documents after changes have been made.@refill
@end table
Even though indexing should be the last thing you do to a document, you
are bound to make changes afterwards. Indexing then has to be applied
to the changed regions. The command
@code{reftex-index-phrases-apply-to-region} is designed for this
purpose. When called from a LaTeX document with active region, it will
apply @code{reftex-index-all-phrases} to the current region.@refill
