DESCRIPTION

       collateindex.pl creates index data for DocBook XML or SGML files.

OPTIONS

       -f   Force the output file to be written, even if it appears to have been edited by hand.

       -g   Group terms with IndexDiv based on the first letter of the term (or its SortAs attribute).	(This might not handle all language envi-
	    ronments.)

       -i id
	    The ID to use for the <index> tag.

       -I scope
	    The implied scope, must be "all", "local", or "global".  IndexTerms which do not specify a scope will have the implied scope.  If
	    unspecified, "all" is assumed.

       -N   New index (generates an empty index file).

       -o file
	    Output to file. Defaults to stdout.

       -p   Link to points in the document.  The default is to link to the closest containing section.

       -P file
	    Read a preamble from file.	The contents of file will be inserted before the <index> tag.

       -q   Run quietly.

       -s name
	    Name the IndexDiv that contains symbols.  The default is "Symbols".  Meaningless if -g is not used.

       -S scope
	    Scope of the index, must be "all", "local", or "global".  If unspecified, "all" is assumed.

       -t name
	    Title for the index.

       -x   Make a SetIndex.

       -V   Print version number and exit.

       file The file containing index data generated with the DocBook DSSSL HTML stylesheet (usually called HTML.index).
