break after index

break after index

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi Hans,

in strc-reg.mkiv I found your remark:

   % needs thinking ... bla\index{bla}. will break before the . but adding a
   % penalty is also no solution


Is this problem solved, ie. is there a working solution?


I am working on a book right now where the author set 4906 index marks ... sometimes right-in-the-middle of a word, but most often behind (and before dot or comma).


Steffen

and what about to clean up the file with regular expression similar to this:

sed -e 's/\b\(\w*\)\\index{\([^}]*\)}/\\index{\2}\1/g' old.tex > new.tex

I would guess, that index entries in the middle of the world break 
kerning and hyphenation.

sure, that's what I always do in the end ;o)

But I really don't like this heavy "cleaning" and actually moving things at all.
I would prefer to leave the responsibility to the author ... and change the original document as little as possible.
