Bug: edtabular and edindex

[martinantonmueller]

Dear Maïeul,
it seems as if I found a bug, as mentionned by you here:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/327684/reledmac-table-and-edindex

When I try to set the table offered in the manual of reledmac, I get the error: "undefined control sequence \reserved\c -> l@d@index", which definetly is a problem of the \edindex. Normal \index works. What am I doing wrong?

MWE:

\documentclass{scrbook}

\usepackage{imakeidx}
\makeindex[name=test]
\usepackage{reledmac}

\begin{document}
\beginnumbering
 \pstart
 \begin{edtabularl}
 \textbf{\Large I} & wish I was a little bug\edindex{bug} &
 \textbf{\Large I} & eat my peas with honey\index{honey} \\
  & With whiskers \edtext{round}{\Afootnote{around}} my tummy &
  & I've done it all my life. \\
  & I'd climb into a honey\index{honey} pot &
  & It makes the peas taste funny \\
  & And get my tummy gummy.\index{gummy} &
  & But it keeps them on the knife.
 \end{edtabularl}
 \pend

 \endnumbering

\end{document}

Thank you for looking into it!
Best regards,
Martin

It is not a bug in \edindex, as I have thought in a first quick reading.

You have written in your preamble

makeindex[name=test]

that means you should use \index[test]{the-word-in-index} or \edindex[test]{the-word-in-index}. If you don't want to use the optional argument, as you have only one index, just write in your preamble

makeindex

Without name argument.

Indeed, there is a little bug with \edindex: it should not produce ununderstandable error, but ignore the entry and write a warning message, as index do. So I let the issue opened, but it is on a low priority.

As explained in the handbook, you also must use call \makeindex AFTER loading reledmac. But there is still, and really, a bug with tabularl.

please try branch issue571. It should fix the bug of indexing. About the bug of not using the good index name, it should be fixed directly in indextools, the sucessor of imakeidx, which I maintain. But it is not a priority.

[martinantonmueller]

i will do so tonight and get back! thank you for fixing it!

[martinantonmueller]

Thank you! It works! And I will look into the indextools next time I have time on my hands...

[maieul]

please validate the new answer on SE.

please also do it for all questions related to reledmac. It's help me to obtain "reputation", which I can send to have help for technical problem in order to solve have a better reledmac.
