#TeXLaTeX question:

I use imakeidx for creating my indices, and while it works, the indices get awfully long - one particular sub-index has now reached a length of more than 150 pages, which is hard to navigate.

Is there any way of subdividing that index by letter (i.e. "A", "B", "C", and so forth) and adding these to the Table of Contents?

Docker images in the pandoc/latex and pandoc/extra repositories have often had missing packages. The reason was the release of TeXLive 2026 and, what appears to be, a moody archive server for TeXLive 2025.
The “latest” images, which contain the newest pandoc 3.9.0.2, come with TeXLive 2026 and should work fine.

Apologies to everybody inconvenienced by this.
