| <p>Sometimes you will want to combine two disparate indices such as |
| functions and concepts, perhaps because you have few enough entries |
| that a separate index would look silly. |
| </p> |
| <p>You could put functions into the concept index by writing |
| <code class="code">@cindex</code> commands for them instead of <code class="code">@findex</code> commands, |
| and produce a consistent manual by printing the concept index with the |
| title ‘Function and Concept Index’ and not printing the ‘Function |
| Index’ at all; but this is not a robust procedure. It works only if |
| your document is never included as part of another document that is |
| designed to have a separate function index; if your document were to |
| be included with such a document, the functions from your document and |
| those from the other would not end up together. Also, to make your |
| function names appear in the right font in the concept index, you |
| would need to enclose every one of them between the braces of |
| <code class="code">@code</code>. |
