Here is my makeglossaries output for glossary and list of acronyms: If you manage to run the Perl script but some entries are rejected, the problem is in the LaTeX code. If this doesn’t work, you probably don’t have Perl installed and need to use makeindex instead (see below). Replace filename with the name of your tex document. However, it requires Perl to be installed on your computer.Īfter typesetting the document once (latex/pdflatex), go to the terminal, navigate to the project folder and try the following: makeglossaries filename The package author provides a Perl script makeglossaries that greatly simplifies this step. Your editor might have a button, but in general the files are generated in the terminal/command-line. The formatted glossary or list of acronyms needs to be generated from the list of glossary entries or acronyms using makeindex. Generate the glossary or list of acronyms The same alternative commands as for the glossary are used to capitalize and pluralize acronyms. Overview of the steps to generate a glossary

Here, I’ll introduce the glossaries package and provide some code that I hope will help non-expert LaTeX users to generate a glossary or list of acronyms. Glossary is obsolete and has been replaced by glossaries, the most recent and flexible of the three packages. Nomencl has been around for quite some time and I previously wrote about it on this blog. Among them are the nomencl package, the glossary package, and the glossaries package. It doesn’t come as a surprise that there are several LaTeX packages that assist with the generation of glossaries. According to Wikipedia, a glossary is an alphabetical list of terms in a particular domain of knowledge with the definitions for those terms.
