In this example, a new glossary type called \texttt{notation} is defined, so that the document can have a separate glossary of terms and index of notation. The index of notation doesn't have associated numbers. \end{abstract} \pagenumbering{roman} \tableofcontents \printglossaries \chapter{Introduction} \pagenumbering{arabic} \Glspl{gls:set} are denoted by a calligraphic font e.g.\ \gls{not:set}. Let \gls[format=hyperit]{not:U} denote the universal set.
