 % *** The latest version of xindy fails on this example***
 % If xindy gives you the error
 % "PROGN: variable SAMPLEXDY-MC207.XDY has no value"
 % it may be related to the issue described in
 % http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2012-August/032260.html
 % This is a problem with xindy not with makeglossaries.
 %
 % This is a sample document illustrating how to use the
 % glossaries package with xindy using the compatibility option.
 % To create the document:
 %
 %   latex samplexdy-compatible207
 %   makeglossaries samplexdy-compatible207
 %   latex samplexdy-compatible207
 %
 % If you don't have Perl installed, then use one of the
 % following instead of makeglossaries:
 %
 % If you want to have a separate "Mc" letter group do:
 %
 %    xindy -I xindy -M samplexdy-mc207 -t samplexdy-compatible207.glg -o samplexdy-compatible207.gls samplexdy-compatible207.glo
 %
 % Otherwise do:
 %
 %  xindy -L english -C utf8 -I xindy -M samplexdy-compatible207 -t samplexdy-compatible207.glg -o samplexdy-compatible207.gls samplexdy-compatible207.glo

 % remove redefinition of \thepage below if you want to uncomment
 % the following line:
 % \usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}

\usepackage[xindy,compatible-2.07,style=altlistgroup]{glossaries}

 % Define a new command to do bold italic (it uses \hyperbf
 % rather than \textbf in case I later introduce hyperlinks
 % - although I would have to remove the fancy page numbering
 % if I wanted to do that):

\newcommand*{\hyperbfit}[1]{\textit{\hyperbf{#1}}}

 % Need to add this to the list of attributes in order
 % to use it with xindy:
 % (This command will have no effect if \noist is used)

\GlsAddXdyAttribute{hyperbfit}

 % Redefine the page numbers so that they appear as a word:

 \renewcommand*{\thepage}{\Numberstring{page}}

 % Need to add this to the list of location styles.
 % \Numberstring{page} gets expanded to
 % \protect \Numberstringnum {<n>} (where <n> is the page number)
 % so need to define the location in that format:
 % (This command will have no effect if \noist is used)

\GlsAddXdyLocation{Numberstring}{:sep "\string\protect\space
  \string\Numberstringnum\space\glsopenbrace"
  "arabic-numbers" :sep "\glsclosebrace"}

 % To have Mc as a separate group uncomment the following three
 % lines:

 \setStyleFile{samplexdy-mc207} % note no extension
 \noist
 \GlsSetXdyLanguage{}

 % The above three lines specify to use samplexdy-mc.xdy (supplied
 % with this file) and don't overwrite it. The language is
 % unset using \GlsSetXdyLanguage{} as all the language
 % dependent information is contained in samplexdy-mc.xdy
 % Note that using \noist means that commands like
 % \GlsAddXdyAttribute and \GlsAddXdyLocation will no longer have
 % an effect.

 % Write the style file (if \noist isn't used)
 % and activate glossary entries

\makeglossaries

 % Define glossary entries
 % \glshyperlink is used instead of \gls to prevent the glossary
 % page numbers also appear in the locations, however I need
 % to ensure that the referenced entries are added to the
 % glossary via commands that use \glslink, \glsadd or \glssee

\maketitle

\section{\glsentryfirst{gauss}}

This is a section on \gls[format=(]{gauss}. This section spans
several pages.

\newpage

This page talks about \glspl[format=hyperbfit]{gaussianint}. Since
it's the principle definition, the user-defined hyperbfit format is
used.

\newpage

The section on \gls[format=)]{gauss} ends here.

\section{Series Expansions}

This section is about series expansions. It mentions
\gls{maclaurin} and \gls{taylor}. It also discusses
\gls{taylorstheorem} which is related to the \gls{taylorseries}.
The \gls{maclaurinseries} is a special case of the
\gls{taylorseries}.

\section{\glsentryname{archimedesprinciple}}

This section discusses \gls{archimedesprinciple} which was
introduced by \gls{archimedes}.

\section{Another section}

This section covers \gls{mach} who introduced the \gls{machnumber}.
It also mentions \gls{ampereandre} after whom the
SI unit \gls{ampere} is named. It then discusses \gls{galton}
and \gls{malthus}. Finally it mentions \gls{mcadam}.

\newpage
This page discusses \gls{mcnemar} who introduced
\gls{mcnemarstest} and \gls{peano} who discovered \gls{peanoscurve}.
