##### 4.3.8`` Indexing

See also Indexing for scribble/base.

> syntax (indexed-racket datum ...)

A combination of racket and as-index, with the following special cases when a single datum is provided:

- If datum is a quote form, then the quote is removed from the key (so that it’s sorted using its unquoted form).

- If datum is a string, then quotes are removed from the key (so that it’s sorted using the string content).

> syntax (indexed-scheme datum ...)

Compatibility alias for indexed-racket.

> procedure (idefterm pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Combines as-index and defterm. The content normally should be plural, rather than singular. Consider using deftech, instead, which always indexes.

> procedure (pidefterm pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Like idefterm, but plural: adds an “s” on the end of the content for the index entry. Consider using deftech, instead.

> procedure (indexed-file pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

A combination of file and as-index, but where the sort key for the index iterm does not include quotes.

> procedure (indexed-envvar pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

A combination of envvar and as-index.
