37        Assuming you have a Jamfile for building your documentation that looks something
38        like:
39      </p>
40<pre class="programlisting">boostbook standalone
41    :
42        mylibrary
43    :
44        # build requirements go here:
45    ;
46</pre>
47<p>
48        Then add the line:
49      </p>
50<pre class="programlisting">using auto-index ; </pre>
51<p>
52        to the start of the Jamfile, and then add whatever auto-index options you
53        want to the <span class="emphasis"><em>build requirements section</em></span>, for example:
54      </p>
55<pre class="programlisting">boostbook standalone
56    :
57        mylibrary
58    :
59        # Build requirements go here:
60
61        # &lt;auto-index&gt;on (or off) one turns on (or off) indexing:
62        &lt;auto-index&gt;on
63
64        # Turns on (or off) auto-index-verbose for diagnostic info.
65        # This is highly recommended until you have got all the many details correct!
66        &lt;auto-index-verbose&gt;on
67
68        # Choose the indexing method (separately for html and PDF) - see manual.
69        # Choose indexing method for PDFs:
70        &lt;format&gt;pdf:&lt;auto-index-internal&gt;off
71
72        # Choose indexing method for html:
73        &lt;format&gt;html:&lt;auto-index-internal&gt;on
74
75        # Set the name of the script file to use (index.idx is popular):
76        &lt;auto-index-script&gt;index.idx
77        # Commands in the script file should all use RELATIVE PATHS
78        # otherwise the script will not be portable to other machines.
79        # Relative paths are normally taken as relative to the location
80        # of the script file, but we can add a prefix to all
81        # those relative paths using the &lt;auto-index-prefix&gt; feature.
82        # The path specified by &lt;auto-index-prefix&gt; may be either relative or
83        # absolute, for example the following will get us up to the boost root
84        # directory for most Boost libraries:
85        &lt;auto-index-prefix&gt;../../..
86
87        # Tell Quickbook that it should enable indexing.
88        &lt;quickbook-define&gt;enable_index ;

119          If you upgrade compiler version, for example MSVC from 9 to 10, then you
120          may need to rebuild Autoindex to avoid what Microsoft call a 'side-by-side'
121          error. And make sure that the autoindex.exe version you are using is the
122          new one.
