I'm trying to create an index of manually-added words in memoir. I've looked up instructions in the documentation, and came up with the following MWE. It compiles, but why is the index not showing up?
\documentclass{memoir}
\makeindex
\indexintoc
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents*
\mainmatter
\chapter{My chapter}
\noindent This is some text.
\index{text}
\backmatter
\printindex
\end{document}
makeindex, and then rerunpdflatex? – Peter Grill Apr 4 '12 at 2:33\makeindexcommand in the document, if that's what you mean...? – jamaicanworm Apr 4 '12 at 2:34pdflatex(which produces the .idx file), thenMakeIndexwhich generates the .ind file, which is read by the subsequent run ofpdflatexwhich produces the index. – Peter Grill Apr 4 '12 at 2:41latexmkwhich will take care of all this by itself. That is, you have to take care of the code, andlatexmkwill take care of the compilation in terms of the different executables that have to be run, the order etc. – Dror Apr 4 '12 at 6:40pdflatex,makeindex,pdflatex, in a terminal, that is by not using an editor. Or try using TeXMaker instead (I'm not a big fan of TeXnicCenter) – daleif Apr 4 '12 at 7:46
