In this example, a new glossary type called \texttt{notation} is defined, so that the document can have a separate glossary of terms, list of acronyms and index of notation. \end{abstract} \pagenumbering{roman} \tableofcontents \printglossaries \chapter{Introduction} \pagenumbering{arabic} \Glspl{gls:set} are denoted by a calligraphic font e.g.\ $\gls{not:set}$. The \gls{gls:card} of a set $\mathcal{S}$ is denoted $\gls{not:card}$. The empty set is denoted $\gls{not:emptyset}$. Here are some acronyms: \gls{nf}, \gls{zfc} and \gls{ad}. \chapter{Another Chapter} Another mention of the empty set $\gls{not:emptyset}$. Here are the acronyms again: \gls{nf}, \gls{zfc} and \gls{ad}. \end{document}
