Never say never, because I added a couple of useful features to TextIndex recently: latex index-commands import, and Section Mode, the latter of which is demonstrated on the TextIndex documentation page itself! https://mattgemmell.scot/textindex/

Final-final-final feature for TextIndex, since I wanted to see if I could (vastly) improve on the way that Word does it: concordance! https://mattgemmell.scot/textindex/#concordance-files #FOSS #BookIndexing #IndexingBooks #indexodon

Quick update on my TextIndex project. Recently added:

• Inbound cross-references
• Run-in style option for deepest level (>2)
• Letter-headings option for indexes
• Wildcards can now also be used in sort-keys and cross-refs

Repo and docs updated. Considering this to be functionally complete now, though requests and issues always welcome!

Are there any Buddhist #indexers out there? The Comprehensive Index of Pali Suttas has officially completed its first draft. If there is anyone out there who would like to offer specific feedback to improve it as the editing phase begins, that would be most welcome.
