<h3 class="section">13.1 Making Index Entries</h3>
<p><a name="index-Index-entries_002c-making-617"></a><a name="index-Entries_002c-making-index-618"></a>
When you are making index entries, it is good practice to think of the
different ways people may look for something. Different people
<em>do not</em> think of the same words when they look something up. A
helpful index will have items indexed under all the different words
that people may use. For example, one reader may think it obvious that
the two-letter names for indices should be listed under “Indices,
two-letter names”, since the word “Index” is the general concept.
But another reader may remember the specific concept of two-letter
names and search for the entry listed as “Two letter names for
indices”. A good index will have both entries and will help both
readers.
<p>Like typesetting, the construction of an index is a highly skilled,
professional art, the subtleties of which are not appreciated until you
need to do it yourself.
<p>See <a href="Printing-Indices-_0026-Menus.html#Printing-Indices-_0026-Menus">Printing Indices & Menus</a>, for information about printing an index
at the end of a book or creating an index menu in an Info file.
