      <!-- LaTeX for the system, but just latex for the command -->
      <application>Xindy</application> is an index processor that can be used
      to generate book-like indexes for arbitrary document-preparation systems.
      This includes systems such as TeX and LaTeX, the roff-family,
      SGML/XML-based systems (e.g., HTML) that process some kind of text and
      generate indexing information.

      <application>xindy</application> in the POSIX (or C) locale because in a
      UTF-8 locale the file <filename>latin.xdy</filename> will contain only a
      heading and then a line '<literal>Binary file (standard input)
      matches</literal>' instead of the many lines of
