groupiing index entries

[Andrea Cassioli]

Dear all,

I am struggling in setting up some index entries for the docs I am working on. My intention is to get an output like this:

Apple,

     Red,

     Green,

     Yellow,

     Rotten

Rotten,

     Apple

Note that I do not want mirror entries for Red, Green  and Yellow. I use 

.. index::

   pair: Apple, Red

and so on. What I get is of course 

Apple,

     Red,

     Green,

     Yellow,

     Rotten

Red,

    Apple

Rotten,

     Apple

and so on. Is there something I am missing?

Reagrds,

Andrea

I am afraid what you are asking for is not currently possible.  You could, however, use seealso type index entries:

.. index:: see: Apple; Green Apple

.. index:: pair: Rotten; Apple

This would render as:

 

Apple,

  Rotten

  see Green Apple

Rotten,

  Apple

The downside of the seealso type is that it's not hyperlinked.  I will handle that under #1351.

Cheers,

Robert
