Hi all,
using \index at the end of a paragraph (like this one ;-) eats all \par-s
after that. Is this a bug or a feature? (In human words: the paragraphs become
joined together into one.)
\index{really don't know why}
It can be easilly overriden using \index{} before the end of the paragraph,
but I consider this quite unpleasant.
Thanks
D.A.

You should use \index before a word, not after like:
\index{test}test.

actually this is a feature; as berend says: use \index before the word to
index (think of this: if such a word hyphenates, you want the ref on the
page where the forst part ends up).
the idea is as follows:
\chapter {something}
\index{oeps}
\index{more}
some text
now this works well, if the \par would not be eaten, there would be a write
node and thereby interference in the spacing (in some situations resulting
in too much whitespace for instance.
