+category Package
+shortdesc Create and manipulate lists of symbols
+longdesc Listofsymbols provides commands to automatically create a list of
+longdesc symbols (also called notation or nomenclature), and to handle
+longdesc symbols logically, i.e. define a macro that is expanded to the
+longdesc desired output and use the macro in the text rather than
+longdesc `hardcoding' the output into the text. This helps to ensure
+longdesc consistency throughout the text, especially if there is a chance
+longdesc that symbols will be changed at some stage. The package is more or
+longdesc less a combination of what the packages nomencl and formula do.
+longdesc The concept of creating the list of symbols, though, is different
+longdesc from the way nomencl.sty does it. [description copied from TeX
