<p>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
&ldquo;Indices, two-letter names, since &ldquo;Indices&rdquo; are the general
concept.  But another reader may remember the specific concept of
two-letter names and search for the entry listed as &ldquo;Two letter names
for indices&rdquo;.  A good index will have both entries and will help both
readers.
</p>
<p>Like typesetting, the construction of an index is a skilled art, the
subtleties of which may not be appreciated until you need to do it
yourself.
</p>
<p>See <a href="Printing-Indices-_0026-Menus.html#Printing-Indices-_0026-Menus">Printing Indices &amp; Menus</a>, for information about printing an
index at the end of a book or creating an index menu in an Info file.
