LaTeX Package : glossaries v 1.12 Last Modified : 8 March 2008 Author : Nicola Talbot This package is provided to assist generating glossaries. The package supports acronyms 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, only terms used in the text will be added to the relevant glossary. *This package replaces the glossary package which is now obsolete.* The glossaries bundle also includes mfirstuc.sty which provides \makefirstuc{} which makes the first object of uppercase unless starts with a control sequence followed by a group, in which case the first object in the group is converted to uppercase. Examples: \makefirstuc{abc} -> Abc \makefirstuc{\emph{abc}} -> \emph{Abc} \makefirstuc{{\'a}bc} -> {\'A}bc \makefirstuc{\ae bc} -> \AE bc \makefirstuc{{\ae}bc} -> {\AE}bc (but don't do \makefirstuc{\ae{}bc} which produces \ae Bc.) INSTALLATION See INSTALL file for installation instructions. REQUIREMENTS The glossaries package requires at least version 2.5f (2006/11/18) of the xkeyval package. LaTeX2HTML This package comes with a LaTeX2HTML style file glossaries.perl which should be placed in the relevant LaTeX2HTML styles directory, but note that glossaries.perl only supplies a sub-set of the commands provided by glossaries.sty, so some commands may not be implemented or may be implemented in a different way.
