I like to show the index in the table of contents. The index shall be shown like a section, it is including the section number and then the section name. Also the same when the index is printed at the end of the document. The index shall be printed like a section with section number and a horizontal line under it from left to right.

Here I call the index = "Sache" to have a differentiation to the standard.

What is the best way to do that ?

Thank you and with best regards, Timo

  • Please make your document compilable! Index 'section' headers etc. normally don't have numbers Commented May 19, 2015 at 14:18

    There is no point in using makeidx and imakeidx together! Commented May 19, 2015 at 15:27

Since imakeidx package is used, the intoc option to the \makeindex command should work!

For the appearance as section instead of of unnumbered \section* use the level=\section option of \indexsetup, for the horizontal rule use \indexprologue for example.

Some notes:

  • \renewcommand{\section}{...} looks weird in this context.
  • I had to comment out doxygen and \fancypagestyle{plain}

  • Hello and thank you for your answer and time ! But, I don't make use of the imakeidx package , it is an error I have removed it. Do you think there is a way to do it with the makeidx package only ? What I get is a section headline called "Sache", plus an index (without numbering). Could I for example remove the index headline "Index" and start the index content directly after the section "Sache" ? Commented May 20, 2015 at 8:03
  • According to your example you use imakeidx, not makeidx. And your editing/transforming your question away from the original version, leaving all my efforts useless. imakeidx is the better package, believe me Commented May 20, 2015 at 11:48
