I have a bible I'm designing that uses indexing to identify where the chapters would have been located in the text in a reference bible, but which I have removed.
I'm looking for a way to make a single index that includes the list of indexed chapter pages but separated by each book. So it would look something like this:
GENESIS
chapter 1... 1
chapter 2... 4
chapter 3... 8
EXODUS
chapter 1... 59
chapter 2... 67
etc., etc.
But I'd like them to be flowing seamlessly in one index without a page break for each book section like I have now. Is this possible with some sort of indexing "sections" or "item headers" or something I could use to categorize the indexed items into "book titles"?
Here is my main code:
% UNIVERSAL SETTINGS
\documentclass[statementpaper,10pt,twoside,onecolumn,openright,extrafontsizes]{memoir} % set page properties
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} % set displayable characters
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[osf]{Alegreya,AlegreyaSans} % set font face
\usepackage{canoniclayout} % canonical margins, breaks page number?
\usepackage{subfiles} % to pull chapter files in from other sub files
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{hyperref} % provides \phantomsection
% INDEX SETTINGS
% run "makeindex index_name.idx -s style.ist" in terminal to generate each correct index files before typesetting
\makeindex[genesis]
\makeindex[exodus]
\makeindex[leviticus]
% TABLE OF CONTENTS SETTINGS
\renewcommand{\cftchapterdotsep}{\cftdotsep}% Chapters should use dots in TOC
% CHAPTER SETTINGS
\renewcommand*{\printchaptername}{\centering}
\renewcommand*{\printchapternonum}{\centering}
% PAGE HEADER SETTINGS
\nouppercaseheads % prevent all uppercase header titles
\makeatletter % put chapter title on both pages
\createmark{chapter}{both}{shownumber}{\@chapapp\ }{. \ } % put chapter title on both pages
\makeatother % put chapter title on both pages
% PARAPGRAPH SETTINGS
\usepackage{ragged2e} % indent paragraphs using ragged right
\setlength{\RaggedRightParindent}{\parindent} % indent paragraphs with ragged right
\raggedbottom % avoid paragraph spacing issues but allow bottom ragged lines
\usepackage{lettrine} % for drop caps and awesome chapter beginnings
\linespread{1.2} % line-height
\renewcommand{\chapternumberline}[1]{}% Gobble chapter number in ToC

and each subfile would look like this:
\begin{document}
\index[genesis]{Chapter 1}
\lettrine[lines=3]{I}{}n the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. \par
