    ã|Description:ã%
The \printindex markup sorts and prints the index entries generated with the
\index markup.   The \printindex markup  would usually come at  the end of a
document before the table of contents.  This markup has the format
 
\printindexN
 
where  N is  the index  number:   1,  2 or  3.    By default,  the  index is
printed using the  indent style of index  in ten point Computer  Modern.  It
is recommended that  you print the index in two  columns (\twocolumns).  For
a  complete list  of  the defaults  and how  to  modify them,  refer  to the
\indexformat markup.
 
    ã|Example:ã%
The following  illustrates how to place  an index at the  end of a document,
after the last appendix, and before the table of contents.  Assume the table
of contents is to begin on page "iv".
 
\appendix{Sample Data}
 
\preface{Index}
\twocolumns
\printindex1
\onecolumns
\tableofcontents{-4}
 
Using  the   \preface  markup  will  start   a  new  page   with  the  title
"Index" at  the top  of the page.   Then  \twocolumns will  begin two column
formatting (typical for indexes).  Next \printindex1 will sort index "1" and
print the  sorted index  according to the  defaults set  by the \indexformat
markup.   After printing the last of the  index, \onecolumn will switch back
to single column mode before printing the table of contents.
 
    ã|Example:ã%
Sometimes  multiple indexes  are required.    If  you had  used  \index1 and
\index2, then you would use \printindex1 and \printindex2 to print them out:
 
\index1item in first index
\index2item in second index
\preface{Index One}
\twocolumns
\printindex1
\onecolumns
\preface{Index Two}
\twocolumns
\printindex2
\onecolumns
 
    ã|Notes:ã%
none.
