LaTeX Package : glossaries v 1.16

Last Modified : 27 August 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{<stuff>} which makes the first object of
<stuff> uppercase unless <stuff> starts with a control
sequence followed by a non-empty 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
     \makefirstuc{\ae{}bc}    -> \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.
