In an index, the entries are listed in alphabetical order, together with information on how to find the discussion of each entry. In a printed manual, this information consists of page numbers. In an Info file, this information is a menu entry leading to the first node referenced. </p> <p>Texinfo provides several predefined kinds of indices: an index for functions, an index for variables, an index for concepts, and so on. You can combine indices or use them for other than their canonical purpose. Lastly, you can define your own new indices. </p> <ul class="section-toc"> <li><a href="Predefined-Indices.html" accesskey="1">Predefined Indices</a></li> <li><a href="Indexing-Commands.html" accesskey="2">Defining the Entries of an Index</a></li> <li><a href="Advanced-Indexing.html" accesskey="3">Advanced Indexing Commands</a></li> <li><a href="Index-Entries.html" accesskey="4">Making Index Entries</a></li> <li><a href="Printing-Indices-_0026-Menus.html" accesskey="5">Printing Indices and Menus</a></li> <li><a href="Combining-Indices.html" accesskey="6">Combining Indices</a></li> <li><a href="New-Indices.html" accesskey="7">Defining New Indices</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
