<!--l. 69--><p class="noindent" >As with all packages, you need to load <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>with <span
class="cmtt-10">\usepackage</span>, but there are
certain packages that must be loaded before <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries</span>, if they are required: <span
class="cmss-10">hyperref</span><a
id="dx1-2001"></a>,
<span
class="cmss-10">babel</span><a
id="dx1-2002"></a>, <span
class="cmss-10">polyglossia</span><a
id="dx1-2003"></a>, <span
class="cmss-10">inputenc</span><a
id="dx1-2004"></a> and <span
class="cmss-10">fontenc</span><a
id="dx1-2005"></a>. (You don’t have to load these packages, but if
you want them, you must load them before <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries</span>.)
</p><!--l. 76--><p class="indent" > <div class="important" title="Important Note"> If you require multilingual support you must also install the relevant language
module. Each language module is called <span
class="cmtt-10">glossaries-</span>⟨<span
class="cmti-10">language</span>⟩, where ⟨<span
class="cmti-10">language</span>⟩ is the
root language name. For example, <span
class="cmtt-10">glossaries-french </span>or <span
class="cmtt-10">glossaries-german</span>. If a
language module is required, the <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>package will automatically try to load it and
will give a warning if the module isn’t found. </div>
</p><!--l. 84--><p class="noindent" >
</p><!--l. 86--><p class="indent" > Once you have loaded <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries</span>, you need to define your terms in the preamble and
then you can use them throughout the document. Here’s a simple example:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-1">
\documentclass{article}
 <br />\usepackage{glossaries}
 <br />\newglossaryentry{ex}{name={sample},description={an example}}
 <br />\begin{document}
 <br />Here’s my \gls{ex} term.
 <br />\end{document}
</div>
<!--l. 99--><p class="nopar" > This produces: <spacer type=vertical size=10><span class="obeylines-h">
<br />Here’s my sample term.
<br /><spacer type=vertical size=10></span>
Here’s another example:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-2">
\documentclass{article}
 <br />\usepackage{glossaries}
 <br />\setacronymstyle{long-short}
 <br />\newacronym{svm}{SVM}{support vector machine}
 <br />\begin{document}
 <br />First use: \gls{svm}. Second use: \gls{svm}.
 <br />\end{document}
</div>
<!--l. 117--><p class="nopar" > This produces: <spacer type=vertical size=10><span class="obeylines-h">
<br />First use: support vector machine (SVM). Second use: SVM.
<br /><spacer type=vertical size=10></span>
In this case, the text produced by <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="cmtt-10">\gls{svm}</span></span></span> changed after the first use. The first use
produced the long form followed by the short form in parentheses because I set the
acronym style to <span
class="cmtt-10">long-short</span>. I suggest you try the above two examples to
make sure you have the package correctly installed. If you get an <span
class="cmtt-10">undefined</span>
<span
class="cmtt-10">control sequence </span>error, check that the version number at the top of this
document matches the version you have installed. (Open the <span
class="cmtt-10">.log </span>file and search
for the line that starts with <span
class="cmtt-10">Package: glossaries </span>followed by a date and
version.)
</p><!--l. 133--><p class="indent" > If you like, you can put all your definitions in another file (for example, <span
class="cmtt-10">defns.tex</span>)
and load that file in the preamble using <span
class="cmtt-10">\loadglsentries </span>with the filename as the
argument. For example:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-3">
\loadglsentries{defns}
</div>
<!--l. 138--><p class="nopar" >
</p><!--l. 140--><p class="indent" > Don’t try inserting formatting commands into the definitions as they can interfere
with the underlying mechanism. Instead, the formatting should be done by the style.
For example, suppose I want to replace <span
class="cmtt-10">SVM </span>in the above to <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="cmtt-10">\textsc{svm}</span></span></span>, then I need
to select a style that uses <span
class="cmtt-10">\textsc</span>, like this:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-4">
\documentclass{article}
 <br />\usepackage{glossaries}
 <br />\setacronymstyle{long-sc-short}
 <br />\newacronym{svm}{svm}{support vector machine}
 <br />\begin{document}
 <br />First use: \gls{svm}. Second use: \gls{svm}.
 <br />\end{document}
</div>
<!--l. 157--><p class="nopar" >
</p><!--l. 159--><p class="indent" > As you can hopefully see from the above examples, there are two main ways of
defining a term. In both cases, the term is given a label. In the first case the label
was <span
class="cmtt-10">ex </span>and in the second case the label was <span
class="cmtt-10">svm</span>. The label is just a way of
identifying the term (like the standard <span
class="cmtt-10">\label</span>/<span
class="cmtt-10">\ref </span>mechanism). It’s best to
just use the following alphanumerics in the labels: <span
class="cmtt-10">a</span>, …, <span
class="cmtt-10">z</span>, <span
class="cmtt-10">A</span>, …, <span
class="cmtt-10">Z</span>, <span
class="cmtt-10">0</span>, …, <span
class="cmtt-10">9</span>.
Sometimes you can also use punctuation characters but not if another package (such
as <span
class="cmss-10">babel</span><a
id="dx1-2006"></a>) meddles with them. Don’t try using any characters outside of the
basic Latin set (for example, é or ß) or things will go horribly wrong. This
warning only applies to the label. It doesn’t apply to the text that appears in the
document.
</p><!--l. 173--><p class="indent" > <div class="important" title="Important Note"> Don’t use <span
class="cmtt-10">\gls </span>in chapter or section headings as it can have some unpleasant
side-effects. Instead use <span
class="cmtt-10">\glsentrytext </span>for regular entries and one of <span
class="cmtt-10">\glsentryshort</span>,
<span
class="cmtt-10">\glsentrylong </span>or <span
class="cmtt-10">\glsentryfull </span>for acronyms. </div>
</p><!--l. 178--><p class="noindent" >
</p><!--l. 180--><p class="indent" > The above examples are reasonably straightforward. The difficulty comes if you
want to display a sorted list of all the entries you have used in the document. The
<span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>package provides three options: use <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> to perform the sorting; use
<span
class="cmtt-10">makeindex </span>to perform the sorting; use <span
class="cmtt-10">xindy </span>to perform the sorting.
</p><!--l. 187--><p class="indent" > The first option (using <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>) is the simplest and easiest method, but it’s
inefficient. To use this method, add <span
class="cmtt-10">\makenoidxglossaries </span>to the preamble and
put <span
class="cmtt-10">\printnoidxglossaries </span>at the place where you want your glossary. For
example:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-5">
\documentclass{article}
 <br />\usepackage{glossaries}
 <br />\makenoidxglossaries
 <br />\newglossaryentry{potato}{name={potato},plural={potatoes},
 <br /> description={starchy tuber}}
 <br />\newglossaryentry{cabbage}{name={cabbage},
 <br /> description={vegetable with thick green or purple leaves}}
 <br />\newglossaryentry{carrot}{name={carrot},
 <br /> description={orange root}}
 <br />\begin{document}
 <br />Chop the \gls{cabbage}, \glspl{potato} and \glspl{carrot}.
 <br />\printnoidxglossaries
 <br />\end{document}
</div>
<!--l. 212--><p class="nopar" > Try this out and run <span class="LATEX">L<span class="A">A</span><span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span></span> (or pdf<span class="LATEX">L<span class="A">A</span><span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span></span>) <span
class="cmti-10">twice</span>. The first run won’t show the
glossary. It will only appear on the second run. The glossary has a vertical gap between
the “carrot” term and the “potato” term. This is because the entries in the glossaries
are grouped according to their first letter. If you don’t want this gap, just add
<span
class="cmtt-10">nogroupskip </span>to the package options:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-6">
\usepackage[nogroupskip]{glossaries}
</div>
<!--l. 221--><p class="nopar" > If you try out this example you may also notice that the description is followed by a
full stop (period) and a number. The number is the location in the document where the
entry was used, so you can lookup the term in the glossary and be directed to the
relevant pages. It may be that you don’t want this back-reference, in which case you can
suppress it using the <span
class="cmtt-10">nonumberlist </span>package option:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-7">
\usepackage[nonumberlist]{glossaries}
</div>
<!--l. 230--><p class="nopar" > If you don’t like the terminating full stop, you can suppress that with the <span
class="cmtt-10">nopostdot</span>
package option:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-8">
\usepackage[nopostdot]{glossaries}
</div>
<!--l. 235--><p class="nopar" >
</p><!--l. 237--><p class="indent" > You may have noticed that I’ve used another command in the above example:
<span
class="cmtt-10">\glspl</span>. This displays the plural form. By default, this is just the singular form with the
letter “s” appended, but in the case of “potato” I had to specify the correct plural using
the <span
class="cmtt-10">plural </span>key.
</p><!--l. 243--><p class="indent" > As I mentioned earlier, using <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> to sort the entries is the simplest but least
efficient method. If you have a large glossary or if your terms contain non-Latin
characters, then you will have a much faster build time if you use <span
class="cmtt-10">makeindex </span>or <span
class="cmtt-10">xindy</span>.
If you are using extended Latin or non-Latin characters, then <span
class="cmtt-10">xindy </span>is the
recommended method. These two methods are described in more detail in <a

<!--l. 257--><p class="noindent" >When you use the <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries</span><a

document preamble. These entries could be a word, phrase, acronym or symbol.
They’re usually accompanied by a description, which could be a short sentence or an
in-depth explanation that spans multiple paragraphs. The simplest method of defining
an entry is to use:

class="cmtt-10">\gls{</span>⟨<span
class="cmitt-10">label</span>⟩<span

</p><!--l. 460--><p class="noindent" >
where ⟨<span

<span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span

suppress the hyperlink for a particular instance, use the starred form <span

example, <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span

similar starred form.
</p><!--l. 472--><p class="indent" > If the entry was defined as an acronym (using <span
class="cmtt-10">\newacronym </span>described above), then
<span
class="cmtt-10">\gls </span>will display the full form the first time it’s used and just the short form on
subsequent use. For example, if the acronym style is set to <span

<span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span

next occurrence of <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="cmtt-10">\gls{svm}</span></span></span> will just display “svm”.

instead of <span

You also need to set the language name and input encoding. If you

Unix-like users) then you need to run the command (all on one
