Consider the following example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fixme}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
    Ignorance is strength\index{strength}.
\end{document}

Then there will be a white space between “strength” and the full stop. What is the best way to circumvent this problem?

You only really needed to give the first two words of your subject:-).

It had to be a missing %, in this case in the fixme package.

Adding

\makeatletter
\def\@wrindex#1{%
  \ifthenelse{\equal{\cmdfx@note@target}{thepage}}{%
    \protected@write\@indexfile{}{\string\indexentry{#1}{\thepage}}}{%
    \protected@write\@indexfile{}{\string\indexentry{#1}{\cmdfx@note@target}}}%<<<
  \endgroup
  \@esphack}
\makeatother

Fixes fixme

  • Thanks. I probably should have found that myself ;-) Anyway, I sent a message to the maintainer of fixme about it. – bodo Jan 17 '13 at 10:25

Thanks for the report. This bug has already been fixed in a new version of FiXme that I basically failed to release for the last 2 years... :-) Keep the faith !

  • This bug is now officially and publicly fixed (version 4.2 of FiXme is out). – Didier Verna Jan 29 '13 at 16:05
  • @Barbara Good to hear from you! – Didier Verna Jan 29 '13 at 16:05
  • @Joseph After 5 attempts at reading your comment, I think I finally understand it. I've never used SX before so I failed to grasp the notions of comments vs. answers. Thanks for the hint. – Didier Verna Jan 29 '13 at 16:07
