How to disable ranges with makeindex, instead showing list of pages

Question

I'm using imakeidx to create an index, together with makedindex. In case, an entry is indexed in several consecutive pages, a range is shown (e.g., 5-7).

How to disable such ranges and show a list of page numbers instead (5, 6, 7)?

makeindex, version 2.15 [TeX Live 2019]
imakeidx.sty 2016/10/15 v1.3e

\makeindex[options=-r] should do. – egreg Jan 02 '20 at 22:27 — egreg, Jan 02 '20 at 22:27

From MakeIndex man page

-r  Disable implicit page range formation; page ranges  must  be  created  by
    using  explicit  range operators; see SPECIAL EFFECTS below.  By default,
    three or more successive pages are automatically abbreviated as  a  range
    (e.g. 1--5).

Thus calling

\makeindex[options=-r,<other settings>]

will do. In case you already use options, just add -r.

Thanks. Too easy, though. I thought I had read the docs in full – Ulrich Scholz Jan 03 '20 at 08:20
