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, only terms used in the text will be added +to the relevant glossary. + +*This package replaces the glossary package which is now obsolete.* + +glossaries-accsupp.sty is an experimental package that uses the +accsupp package to provide accessibility support for the +glossaries package. + +The glossaries package may be extended with the +separately-distributed glossaries-extra package +(https://ctan.org/pkg/glossaries-extra), which provides +more options and improved abbreviation handling. + +The mfirstuc package is now a separate bundle +(https://ctan.org/pkg/mfirstuc). + +INSTALLATION + +See INSTALL file for installation instructions. + +REQUIREMENTS + +mfirstuc +ifthen +xkeyval *at least version 2.5f (2006/11/18)* +xfor +amsgen +etoolbox +longtable (unless you use the nolong or nostyles package options) +datatool-base +textcase +tracklang (to determine if any language modules need to be loaded) + +If the supertabular package is installed, it will also be loaded +unless the nosuper or nostyles package options are used.
