+Indexing is a very difficult task.  It must follow strict conventions to
+make the index consistent and complete.  There are basically two
+approaches one can follow, and both have their merits.
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+Part of the indexing should already be done with the markup.  The
+document structure should be reflected in the index, so when starting
+new sections, the basic topics of the section should be indexed.  If the
+document contains definitions, theorems or the like, these should all
+correspond to appropriate index entries.  This part of the index can
+very well be developed along with the document.  Often it is worthwhile
+to define special purpose macros which define an item and at the same
+time make an index entry, possibly with special formatting to make the
+reference page in the index bold or underlined.  To make @b{Ref@TeX{}}
+support for indexing possible, these special macros must be added to
+@b{Ref@TeX{}}'s configuration (@pxref{Defining Index Macros}).@refill
+
+@item
+The rest of the index is often just a collection of where in the
+document certain words or phrases are being used.  This part is
+difficult to develop along with the document, because consistent entries
+for each occurrence are needed and are best selected when the document
+is ready.  @b{Ref@TeX{}} supports this with an @emph{index phrases file}
+which collects phrases and helps indexing the phrases globally.@refill

+
+Before you start, you need to make sure that @b{Ref@TeX{}} knows about

+Phrases for indexing can be collected while writing the document.  The
+command @kbd{C-c \} (@code{reftex-index-phrase-selection-or-word})
+copies the current selection (if active) or the word near point into the 
+phrases buffer.  It then selects this buffer, so that the phrase line
+can be edited.  To return to the LaTeX document, press @kbd{C-c C-c}
+(@code{reftex-index-phrases-save-and-return}).
+
+You can also prepare the list of index phrases in a different way and
+copy it into the phrases file.  For example you might want to start from 
+a word list of the document and remove all words which should not be
+indexed.
 
-There is also a command @code{reftex-index-globally}@footnote{This
-function is still experimentally and may change or go away.} which
-copies an index entry near point to other occurrences of the same word
-in the document.  @b{Ref@TeX{}} assumes that the word you want to index
-is in direct contact with the index macro, e.g.
-@samp{\index@{@var{word}@}@var{word}} or
-@samp{@var{word}\index@{@var{word}@}}.  If there is no such word, it
-uses the key argument of the index macro.  After making you confirm the
-precise search and replace strings, a query-replace over the entire
-document will be launched.
+The phrase lines in the phrase buffer must have a specific format.
+@b{Ref@TeX{}} will use font-lock to indicate if a line has the proper
+format.  A phrase line looks like this:
 
-@node Displaying and Editing the Index, Builtin Index Macros, Creating Index Entries, Index Support
+@example
+[@var{key}] <TABs> @var{phrase} [<TABs> @var{arg}[&&@var{arg}]... [ || @var{arg}]...] 
+@end example
+
+@code{<TABs>} stands for white space containing at least one @key{TAB}.
+@var{key} must be at the start of the line and is the character
+identifying one of the macros defined in the file header.  It is
+optional - when omitted, the first macro definition line in the file
+will be used for this phrase.  The @var{phrase} is the phrase to be
+searched for when indexing.  It may contain several words separated by
+spaces.  By default the search phrase is also the text entered as
+argument of the index macro.  If you want the index entry to be
+different from the search phrase, enter another @key{TAB} and the index
+argument @var{arg}.  If you want to have each match produce several
+index entries, separate the different index arguments with @samp{ &&
+}@footnote{@samp{&&} with optional spaces, see
+@code{reftex-index-phrases-logical-and-regexp}.}.  If you want to be
+able to choose at each match between several different index arguments,
+separate them with @samp{ || }@footnote{@samp{||} with optional spaces,
+see @code{reftex-index-phrases-logical-or-regexp}.}.  Here is an

+So @samp{Sun} will be indexed directly as @samp{\index*@{Sun@}}, while
+@samp{Planet} will be indexed as @samp{\index@{Planets@}Planet}.
+@samp{Vega} will be indexed as a subitem of @samp{Stars}.  The
+@samp{Jupiter} line will also use the @samp{i} macro as it was the first
+macro definition in the file header (see above example).  At each
+occurrence of @samp{Mars} you will be able choose between indexing it as
+a subitem of @samp{Planets}, @samp{Gods} or @samp{Chocolate Bars}.

+@kindex C-c C-s
+Before indexing the phrases in the phrases buffer, they should be
+checked carefully for consistency.  A first step is to sort the phrases
+alphabetically - this is done with the command @kbd{C-c C-s}
+(@code{reftex-index-sort-phrases}).  It will sort all phrases in the
+buffer alphabetically by search phrase.  If you want to group certain
+phrases and only sort within the groups, insert empty lines between the
+groups.  Sorting will only change the sequence of phrases within each
+group (see the variable @code{reftex-index-phrases-sort-in-blocks}).@refill
+
+@kindex C-c C-i
+A useful command is @kbd{C-c C-i} (@code{reftex-index-phrases-info})
+which lists information about the phrase at point, including an example
+of how the index entry will look like and the number of expected matches
+in the document.@refill
+
+@kindex C-c C-t
+Another important check is to find out if there are double or
+overlapping entries in the buffer.  For example if you are first
+searching and indexing @samp{Mars} and then @samp{Planet Mars}, the
+second phrase will not match because of the index macro inserted before
+@samp{Mars} earlier.  The command @kbd{C-c C-t}
+(@code{reftex-index-find-next-conflict-phrase}) finds the next phrase in
+the buffer which is either duplicate or a subphrase of another phrase.
+In order to check the whole buffer like this, start at the beginning and

+@cindex Indexing, global
+@cindex Indexing, from @file{phrases} buffer
+
+Once the index phrases have been collected and organized, you are set
+for global indexing.  I recommend to do this only on an otherwise
+finished document.  Global indexing starts from the phrases buffer.
+There are several commands which start indexing: @kbd{C-c C-x} acts on
+the current phrase line, @kbd{C-c C-r} on all lines in the current
+region and @kbd{C-c C-a} on all phrase lines in the buffer.  It is
+probably good to do indexing in small chunks since your concentration
+may not last long enough to do everything in one go.@refill
+
+@b{Ref@TeX{}} will start at the first phrase line and search the phrase
+globally in the whole document.  At each match it will stop, compute the
+replacement string and offer you the following choices@footnote{Windows
+users: Restrict yourself to the described keys during indexing.  Pressing 
+@key{Help} at the indexing prompt can apparently hang Emacs.}:@refill
+
+@table @kbd
+@item y
+Replace this match with the proposed string.
+@item n

+@item !

+@item s
+Save this buffer and ask again about the current match.
+@item S
+Save all document buffers and ask again about the current match.
+@item C-g
+Abort the indexing process.
+@end table
+
+The @samp{Find and Index in Document} menu in the phrases buffer also
+lists a few options for the indexing process.  The options have
+associated customization variables to set the defaults (@pxref{Options
+(Index Support)}).  Here is a short explanation of what the options do:
+
+@table @i
+@item Match Whole Words
+When searching for index phrases, make sure whole words are matched.
+This should probably always be on.
+@item Case Sensitive Search
+Search case sensitively for phrases.  I recommend to have this setting
+off, in order to match the capitalized words at the beginning of a
+sentence, and even typos.  You can always say @emph{no} at a match you
+do not like.
+@item Wrap Long Lines
+Inserting index macros increases the line length.  Turn this option on
+to allow @b{Ref@TeX{}} to wrap long lines.
+@item Skip Indexed Matches
+When this is on, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will at each match try to figure out if
+this match is already indexed.  A match is considered indexed if it is
+either the argument of an index macro, or if an index macro is directly
+(without whitespace separation) before or after the match.  Index macros
+are those configured in @code{reftex-index-macros}.  Intended for
+re-indexing a documents after changes have been made.@refill
+@end table
+
+Even though indexing should be the last thing you do to a document, you
+are bound to make changes afterwards.  Indexing then has to be applied
+to the changed regions.  The command
+@code{reftex-index-phrases-apply-to-region} is designed for this
+purpose.  When called from a LaTeX document with active region, it will
+apply @code{reftex-index-all-phrases} to the current region.@refill
