Now I've got the bibliography working I'm looking at getting indexes to be generated. Using my long-suffering "cat.org" with this code in my ".emacs" --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; org to latex customisations, -shell-escape needed for minted (setq org-export-dispatch-use-expert-ui t ; non-intrusive export dispatch org-latex-pdf-process ; for regular export '("xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "biber %b" "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and this is my "cat.org" --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # -*- mode:org; mode:reftex; indent-tabs-mode:nil; tab-width:2 -*- #+OPTIONS: toc:nil num:nil #+OPTIONS: ^:{} #+TITLE: Cat on the mat - 2014 #+AUTHOR: Sharon Kimble. #+LATEX_CMD: xelatex #+LATEX_CLASS: article #+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [a4paper] #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{makeidx} %robustindex % Indexing #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[backend=biber,style=verbose,style=numeric]{biblatex} #+LaTeX_HEADER: \bibliography{cat} #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref} \makeindex \pagebreak \makeindex \begin{document} * Chapter 1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer \cite{5} adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

I've tried running "C-c C-e l l" three times then generating the "cat.pdf" but I can't get one generated. I've googled and looked in the "Org Manual" but haven't found how to do it. Can anyone help please?
