✨ NAME ✨

rumakeindex — process a LaTeX index using Russian Cyrillic characters 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rumakeindex basename

that's it. one little argument. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so rumakeindex is the girl you call when you need to run makeindex(1) on idx files that have Russian characters in them. it's part of the T2 package, iykyk 💅

here's the pipeline, and no it is not complicated, it's just ✨delegating✨:

• it runs sed(1) on the idx file to convert Cyrillic character commands into 8-bit ASCII characters
• then it pipes those results through makeindex(1)
• then through tr(1) to do some final conversions

and the results? dropped into a KOI8-R encoded ind file. periodt. 🌈

✨ FILES ✨

• basename.idx — the LaTeX index entry file 📝
• basename.ilg — the LaTeX index log file 🪵
• basename.ind — the LaTeX processed index file, your final girl 💖
