14.1.8 Generating an index

Org mode can generate an index across the files of a publishing project.

:makeindex​

When non-nil, generate in index in the file ‘theindex.org’ and publish it as ‘theindex.html’.

The file is created when first publishing a project with the :makeindex set. The file only contains a statement ‘#+INCLUDE: "theindex.inc"’. You can then build around this include statement by adding a title, style information, etc.

Index entries are specified with ‘INDEX’ keyword. An entry that contains an exclamation mark creates a sub item.
