[Mpi-forum] Question about MPI activities text in in mpi-4.x branch

[Gropp, William D]

Here’s the rule on index entries: They can’t have any TeX/LaTeX commands in them, because of how the indexing software sorts them. The indexing package provides a workaround – you can create an index item with

Text with no commands for indexing at Text with commands for display.

E.g.,

\index{decoupled MPI activities at decoupled \MPI/ activities}

Unfortunately, I didn’t make the \mpiterm etc. macros fancy enough to do this decoding. So Howard is correct – the longer form with separate mpitermni and mpitermindex is the correct solution.

I could add a macro to make this a little easier – e.g.,

\mpitermsp{index key for sorting}{index name for display}

(sp for special); e.g.,

\mpitermsp{decoupled MPI activities}{decoupled \MPI/ activities}

This would only work for one level index entries, but that is most of them.

Subject: [Mpi-forum] Question about MPI activities text in in mpi-4.x branch
Hi,

So I’m reviewing dynamic process chapter in preparation for the RC meeting.

I’m noticing some funny text


decoupled MPI activities at decoupled MPI activities

scattered throughout the text.

It looks like this is at least partially associated with e9cba2e0.

It appears to me that what we are actually wanting to use is this?

\mpitermni{decoupled \MPI/ activities}\mpitermindex{decoupled MPI activities at decoupled \MPI/ activities}

as opposed to this

\mpiterm{decoupled MPI activities at decoupled \MPI/ activities}

?

If we agreed to have funny text with activities at decoupled scattered around then that’s that and I’ll not make a change in the dynamic process chapter.

Howard
