adding index using texnic

[Venom20]

Hello all, I can't seem to get my index to show and I'm hoping someone can assist me.

I have placed

\makeindex

in the preamble. In the project folder I can see the correct .idx file and when opened in notepad, the entries are correctly generated.

I have also temporarily used the package

showidx

so that I can confirm that the entries are there.

I generate the output then generate the output again because I was told that the first time creates the list and the second time displays it where I have chosen to display it.

I have chosen to display it at the end of the book and added the like

\printindex

More specifically I added:

\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Index}
\printindex

so that the index will show up in the table of contents. Sadly, I cannot get it to display. I am wondering if it is because I am outputting to a .pdf. Does it only work for .ps or .dvi?

If you're wondering why there hasn't been a response to your question, it's probably because no one understands what you are talking about.

What's texinc? What are the snippets of code suppose to do? Are {toc}{chapter}{index} template tags?

He's using LaTeX. texnic is an editor.

Several people use Texnic on this forum. I was assuming that no one answered because either they are unsure or cannot be bothered. People who are familiar with Latex or the editor Texnic should be familiar with the "snippets".

Unfortunately this still stumps me, if/when I find a solution I shall report back. Might take a while though, I have now placed the index on the backburner.

If that doesn't help, give us a minimum example that fails.
