LaTeX package listofsymbols.sty v0.2 by Stefan Spreng e-mail: listofsymbols@gmx.de August 2003 Licence: -------- This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License. See http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.lppl.html for the details of that license. Description: ------------ listofsymbols provides commands to (a) automatically create a list of symbols (also called notation or nomenclature) and (b) handle symbols logically, i.e. define a macro that is expanded to the desired output and use the macro in the text rather than `hardcoding' the output into the text. This helps to ensure consistency throughout the text, especially if there is a chance that symbols will be changed at some stage. Additionally, you can keep all the symbols you usually need in a separate file; only those you use in a document are included in the list of symbols. This package is more or less a combination of what the packages nomencl.sty and formula.sty do. The concept of creating the list of symbols, though, is different from the way nomencl.sty does it. Change Log: ----------- Jul 2003: Compatibility problems with amsmath.sty solved Jul 2003: Unused symbols are no longer included in the lists Aug 2003: Commands includesym and losstring added
