Thanks! I did not know that.

Thanks. I’ll report back when the plugin is done.

This is what I did:
I use hyperlatex https://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=hyperlatex&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
to create the index.
I have to pick items out of each post to index them and put them into index.tex which then is processed by hyperlatex. It creates index.html and that is a link in my blog. So if I do all the work, selecting “index” will show an alphabetical index of all important topics in all posts.
Hyperlatex does the sorting and the showing of items in alphabetical order, etc. I just have to pick.
Too bad: it _would_ be nice if I could show the indexed item highlighted in the post. Being one of the clueless, I don’t know how to do that…

That’s a good idea, but in my case it won’t work because the posts have no titles. Here:
https://esquipulas.homeunix.com/
The reason is (was) that I just want a day by day record and instead all posts go under the category of the partition where I am presently at.
So today I am on hdb2 and thus my posts are all filed under that category, w/o title.
What was mentioned in a reply is very true: indexes are created by hand, and when you do it well, you have a good index, which is a lot of work. If not, it becomes meaningless. Due to the labor most books nowadays have poor indexes.

Thanks for the replies. To amplify: I use my WP blog as a “system diary” to note what I did where on this system.
I have posted a number of newsgroups on this and I get zip for answers, but this is what I mean:
I have a box with a number of Debian Linux partitions (6 or 7, I lose count). No MS windows. I use them to try out things and I will jump from one to the other.
The problem is “Where was I on such and such a date and what did I do” or “I have done that before”.
I have tried flat files for that and that’s no good. They sit on a partition. I have 6 notebooks crammed full of stuff: I have to look through my scribblings? With WP the record is on the server (which is on the box also) and it is a diary. But in order to know “how have I solved that” I still need to look for the post, an index would be better.
Ideally I would print out the whole diary every week and then just look in the index and have the info.
To give an example: I am downloading the Debian kernel source of 2.6.9. I want to see if the multi-seat Linux patch fits. I have done that before. When? I remember it did not fit, but why not?

The “clearer” at the end of the text does the trick.
Did not RTFM again…
Thanks podz!

But maybe I put the image in wrong.
I just do:
<img align=left hspace=20 height=600 alt=”” src=”https://esquipulas.homeunix.com/modtempdisp.png”&gt;

Tried that.
Replaced index.php and wp-layout.css.
Did not force the credits down under the image.

I don’t know what that means. It appears as a class:
class=”tightenable top bottom”
The object is to make lists that are tightened up and leave no blank lines in between items.

That’s it!
Thanks!
