Suppress makeindex/printindex?

[william....@scality.com]

I have a set of books to which one of the other writers has added a glossary. Up until this addition, sphinx ran, found no index item tags, and generated PDF books with no index. The glossary entries, however, receive auto-generated index headings when the LaTeX engine (xelatex, I believe) is invoked. On the index run, makeindex sees the tags, and dutifully generates an index. This gives us a Glossary, immediately followed by an Index that only points to the glossary pages immediately before it. Not the look I'm after!

I have figured out that you can defeat this behavior by manually deleting either \makeindex or \printindex from the .tex file. I would prefer that the makeindex engine not be invoked at all, but I cannot find any way to toggle this off. I would be most grateful if someone could tell me if there is a way to do defeat makeindex, either from a configuration file, or from the command line. Failing this, if there were a way to redefine the glossary entry definition such that generated glossary entries do not contain an index tag, this would also probably do the trick without breaking anything important. 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi,

You can suppress them all with following settings in conf.py:
```
latex_elements = {
'makeindex': '',
'printindex': '',
}
```

Thanks,
