I am using imakeidx
to generate a multicolumn index with makeindex
.
Here is an excerpt from my .ind
:
\item \BRbooktitlestyle {\BRepistlenumberstyle {1}Jean}
\subitem \BRchapterstyle {2}\BRchvsep \BRversestyle {2} \dotfill
\textrm{18}
\subitem \BRchapterstyle {4}\BRchvsep \BRversestyle {9}\BRvrsep \BRversestyle {10} \dotfill
\textrm{18}
where \BRfoo
are bibleref
formatting macros. Unfortunately, the \item
is at the bottom of a left column, so the \subitems
get pushed to the right column:
Is there an equivalent to \nobreak
which could be used here to prevent this behaviour, and how?
Best Answer
You want that a column break is preferred before each
\item
command; the usual definition of\item
in an index is\par\hangindent 40\p@
; so something likemay do what needed, after saying in the preamble
Another trick could be to add
to the definition of
\BRbooktitlestyle
