index for Japanese alphabet

index for Japanese alphabet

[S Barmeier]

Hi,

I would like to include an index with Japanese terms, ordered according
to the Japanese alphabet.

I can say \index[kanji]{漢字} for an entry under K. For my Japanese
index I imagine \index[かんじ]{漢字} to place an entry under か. Is
something like this possible?

The Japanese alphabet fits (almost) into a 5x10 table. Depending on the
size of the index, it is customary to order an index either by column
only (for a smaller index) or by table entry (top-to-bottom,
right-to-left). I'd be happy with either, although the smaller one will
probably suffice for my purposes...

Any help on how to implement this?

Many thanks, as always,
Severin

All that is needed is information ... you can have a look in the 
sort-lan.* files. I also suggest that you check with Dalyoung 
(haksan@me.com) as he keeps an eye on cjk issues. For instance korean 
sorting is supported, so japanese should ne possible as well.

The ordering would be ka-i ga-i ka-n ga-n
The rule "i before n" is stronger than the rule "ka before ga". I guess
this is the same in, say, German, where 'essen' should come before
'Essen', but 'Essbarkeiten' before both of them, "e before E" being the
weakest ordering rule...

Is this the use of

local cs,  CS  = utfchar(replacementoffset + 1),
utfchar(replacementoffset + 11)

in sort-lan.lua?

Once I know how to enable a particular sorting pattern for a register I
can probably figure it out by myself. How would I do that?

Best,
Severin
