DESCRIPTION

This package is provided to assist generating glossaries. The package supports abbreviations and multiple glossaries. New entries are defined to have a name and description (and optionally an associated symbol). Plural forms can also be specified. New glossary styles can be defined, and preambles and postambles can be specified. There is provision for loading a database of terms where only terms used in the text will be added to the relevant glossary.

This package replaces the glossary package which is now obsolete.

Included supplementary files:

  • glossaries-prefix.sty: allows for the inclusion of a prefix (such as a determiner) before terms.
  • glossaries-accsupp.sty: an experimental package that uses the accsupp package to provide accessibility support for the glossaries package.
  • glossary style packages (such as glossary-list.sty and glossary-index.sty). Note that the list styles may be incompatible with classes or packages that redefine the description environment.
  • a set of files containing lorem ipsum dummy entries for testing and debugging.

Excluded supplementary packages (separate installation required):

  • glossaries-extra.sty extends glossaries.sty, providing more options and better abbreviation handling.
  • bib2gls alternative indexing application designed specifically for use with glossaries-extra.sty

  • xfor
  • xkeyval at least version 2.5f (2006/11/18)

If you want to use glossaries-accsupp.sty you will also need the accsupp package.

Some of the glossary styles require additional packages, which are automatically loaded by the corresponding glossary-name.sty package.

glossaries – Create glossaries and lists of acronyms

The glossaries package supports acronyms and multiple glossaries, and has provision for operation in several languages (using the facilities of either babel or polyglossia). New entries are defined to have a name and description (and optionally an associated symbol). Support for multiple languages is offered, and plural forms of terms may be specified. An additional package, glossaries-accsupp, can make use of the accsupp package mechanisms for accessibility support for PDF files containing glossaries.

The user may define new glossary styles, and preambles and postambles can be specified. There is provision for loading a database of terms, but only terms used in the text will be added to the relevant glossary.

The package uses an indexing program to provide the actual glossary; either makeindex or xindy may serve this purpose, and a Perl script is provided to serve as interface.

This package requires the mfirstuc package.

The package supersedes the author’s glossary package (which is now obsolete).
