The IndexAuthor

The motto of the IndexAuthor is, that one should leave annoying tasks to the computer. A particularly annoying task is to search a document, book or any other text source consisting of several 100 pages for keywords in order to create a keyword index, a kind of table of contents which contains all relevant keywords of the text.

The Index Author relieves you of exactly this task. In addition, there are lots of other features to customize the index exactly to your needs. It is possible, for example, to include only words of a certain length in the index, to exclude all uppercase or lowercase words, or to define a White List or a Black List, to decide whether a word should be added or not. The IndexAuthor is not limited to simple words, but can also include related word groups together in the index if desired - or additionally as individual words.

In addition to an index that is created for a text or a single file, it is also possible to create a common index for several files. This index can, for example, be created in the form of an HTML document in which all files are linked. The design of this file, such as the headings, fonts, colors, spacing and so on can of course be freely adapted.

Even if you do not have a suitable source file, you can use the rich tool palette to customize a file or use other tools that make your job easier. For example, the IndexAuthor provides a tool with which page numbers can be written into texts without page numbers according to various criteria, in order to then use these page numbers for the index. Alternatively, the line number of the text can be used instead of the page number, so that each new line corresponds to a new page number.
