+The makeglos package
+
+
+makeglos is a LaTeX package to include a glossary into a document.
+The glossary must be prepared by an external program, like xindy or
+makeindex.
+
+
+Features
+
+* Can be easily configured: various aspects of the appearance of the
+ glossary can be changed by a simple \renewcommand.
+
+* Multi-language capability: certain keywords, like the name of the
+ glossary, can be made language-dependent.
+
+* Flexible: works equally well for document classes with a book- or
+ report-like structure (divided into \chapters) and for article-like
+ documents, like the documentation for the makeglos package (based on
+ \sections)
+* Equivalent: makeglos is to glossaries what makeidx is to indices.

+
+\section{Introduction}
+
+A glossary is a list of words (concepts, terms) together with their
+explanations.
+\glossary{glossary:A list of words with explanations of these words}
+In a glossary you should explain those terms which are
+necessary for the understanding of your document, but which some of your
+readers might not know. The advantages of using a glossary vs. writing
+definitions in the middle of a sentence are:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item improved text flow: the explanations don't clutter up the logical
+ structure of the text
+ \item reader-friendliness: people who already know the meaning of terms
+ (e.\,g. people who come from the same professional background as you)
+ don't need to read their definitions. That helps them understand the
+ text faster.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Very often a glossary is sorted alphabetically. An example for a glossary in
+a technical or scientific document is a list of mathematical symbols
+together with their meanings.
+
+{\tt makeglos} is a \LaTeX{} package to include a glossary into a document.
+The glossary must be prepared by an external program, like {\tt xindy} or
+{\tt makeindex}.
+\glossary{index processor:a software product to prepare an index for
+inclusion into a \LaTeX{} document}

+\glossary{xindy|see{index processor}}
+\glossary{xindy|seealso{glossary}}
+
+
+\section{Features}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Can be easily configured: various aspects of the appearance of the
+ glossary can be changed by a simple \verb+\renewcommand+.
+ \item Multi-language capability: certain keywords, like the name of the
+ glossary, can be made language-dependent.
+ \item Flexible: works equally well for document classes with a book- or
+ report-like structure (divided into \verb+\chapters+) and for article-like
+ documents, like the one you are reading now (based on \verb+\sections+)
+ \item Equivalent: \verb+makeglos+ is to glossaries what \verb+makeidx+ is
+ to indices.
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\section{Commands}
+
+\begin{tabular}{lp{.7\textwidth}}
+\verb+\printglossary+ & Inserts the glossary file ({\tt *.gls}) here. \\
+\verb+\glossaryname+ & The name of the glossary. Defaults to ``Glossary''.\\
+\verb+\glossaryintro+ & Something to print before the actual glossary.
+Defaults to empty. \\
+\verb+\gsee+ & The cross-reference introduction phrase.
+Defaults to \verb+\emph{\seename} #1+. \\
+\verb+\galso+ & The secondary cross-reference introduction phrase.
+Defaults to \verb+\emph{\alsoname} #1+. \\
+\verb+\seename+ & The cross-reference introduction phrase.
+Defaults to ``see''. Redefined by \verb+babel+ package.\\
+\verb+\alsoname+ & The secondary cross-reference introduction phrase.
+Defaults to ``see also''. Redefined by \verb+babel+ package.\\
+\end{tabular}
+
+
+\section{Notes}
+
+The glossary environment is by default defined to be a chapter (or section)
+which does not appear in the table of contents. If you want the glossary to
+appear there (just like I did when I wrote this), just add \\
+\verb+\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\glossaryname}+.
+
+The glossary's environment definition for document classes in which the
+\verb+\chapter+ command is undefined (article-like documents) is
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newenvironment{theglossary}%
+{\section*{\glossaryname}\glossaryintro%
+\begin{description}}%
+{\end{description}}%
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The glossary's environment definition for document classes in which the
+\verb+\chapter+ command is defined (report-/book-like documents) is
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newenvironment{theglossary}%
+{\chapter*{\glossaryname}\glossaryintro%
+\begin{description}}%
+{\end{description}}%
+\end{verbatim}
+
+If you want to change this, \verb+\renewenvironment+ is your friend!
+
+The glossary for this document was prepared with \verb+xindy+, version 2.0d:\\
+\verb+xindy -o makeglos.gls -f tex2xindy makeglos.xdy makeglos.glo+
