id="x1-20001"></a>Why the Need for a New Package?</h3>
<!--l. 46--><p class="noindent" >The <span
class="cmss-10">glossary </span>package started out as an example in a tutorial, but I decided that I may
as well package it up and upload it to CTAN. Unfortunately it was fairly rigid and
unable to adapt well to the wide variation in glossary styles. Users began making
requests for enhancements, but with each enhancement the code became more
complicated and bugs crept in. Each fix in one place seemed to cause another problem
elsewhere. In the end, it was taking up too much of my time to maintain, so I decided
to replace it with a much better designed package. With the new <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries</span>
package:
</p>
<ul class="itemize1">
<li class="itemize">you can define irregular plurals;
</li>
<li class="itemize">glossary terms can have an associated symbol in addition to the name and
description;
</li>
<li class="itemize">new glossary styles are much easier to design;
</li>
<li class="itemize">you can add dictionaries to supply translations for the fixed names used in
headings and by some of the glossary styles;
</li>
<li class="itemize">you can choose<span class="footnote-mark"><a
href="#fn1x0" id="fn1x0-bk"><sup class="textsuperscript">1</sup></a></span><a
id="x1-2001f1"></a>
between using <span
class="cmtt-10">makeindex</span><a
id="dx1-2003"></a> or <span
class="cmtt-10">xindy</span><a
id="dx1-2004"></a> to sort the glossary. Using <span
class="cmtt-10">xindy</span><a
id="dx1-2005"></a> means
that:
<ul class="itemize2">
<li class="itemize">there is much better support for terms containing accented or non-Latin
characters;
</li>
<li class="itemize">there is support for non-standard location numbers;</li></ul>
</li>
<li class="itemize">you don’t need to remember to escape <span
class="cmtt-10">makeindex</span><a
id="dx1-2006"></a>’s special characters as this is
done internally;
</li>
<li class="itemize">hierarchical entries and homographs are
supported;<span class="footnote-mark"><a
href="#fn2x0" id="fn2x0-bk"><sup class="textsuperscript">2</sup></a></span><a
id="x1-2007f2"></a>
</li>
<li class="itemize">there is better support for cross-referencing glossary entries;
</li>
<li class="itemize">acronyms are just another glossary term which helps to maintain consistency;
</li>
<li class="itemize">different acronym styles are supported.
</li></ul>

this, you can use the <span

<!--l. 390--><p class="nopar" > Then you would need to load the <span

option, for example:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-10">

<!--l. 395--><p class="nopar" > and change the acronym definition to:

<!--l. 400--><p class="nopar" > You can then reference the acronym using any of the new referencing commands, such

also defines <span

</p></div>
<!--l. 436--><p class="nopar" >

</p><!--l. 444--><p class="noindent" ></p></span>
You can then continue to use <span

class="E">E</span>X</span></span> generally ignores
spaces after command names that consist of alphabetical characters. You will therefore
need to force a space after <span
class="cmtt-10">\</span><span
class="cmsy-10">⟨</span><span
class="cmti-10">acr-name</span><span
class="cmsy-10">⟩</span>, unless you also load the <span

(See <a
href="glossaries-manual.html#sec:acronyms" >Acronyms</a> of the <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>documentation for further details.) Note that
<span
class="cmtt-10">\oldacronym</span><a
id="dx1-12019"></a> uses its first argument to define the acronym’s label (as used by
commands like <span
class="cmtt-10">\gls</span><a
id="dx1-12020"></a>), so in the above example, with the new <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>package,
<span

<!--l. 577--><p class="noindent" >The <span
class="cmss-10">glossary </span>package provides the command <span
class="cmtt-10">\printglossary</span><a
id="dx1-16001"></a> (or <span
class="cmtt-10">\print</span><span
class="cmsy-10">⟨</span><span
class="cmti-10">type</span><span
class="cmsy-10">⟩ </span>for
other glossary types) which can be used to print individual glossaries. The <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries</span>
package provides the command <span
class="cmtt-10">\printglossaries</span><a
id="dx1-16002"></a> which will print all the glossaries
which have been defined, or <span
class="cmtt-10">\printglossary</span><a
id="dx1-16003"></a><span
class="cmtt-10">[</span><span
class="cmsy-10">⟨</span><span
class="cmti-10">options</span><span
class="cmsy-10">⟩</span><span
class="cmtt-10">] </span>to print individual glossaries.
So if you just have <span
class="cmtt-10">\printglossary</span><a
id="dx1-16004"></a>, then you can leave it as it is, but if you have,
say:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-14">
\printglossary
 <br />\printglossary[acronym]
</div>
<!--l. 588--><p class="nopar" > or
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-15">
\printglossary
 <br />\printacronym
</div>
<!--l. 593--><p class="nopar" > then you will need to replace this with either
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-16">
\printglossaries
</div>
<!--l. 597--><p class="nopar" > or
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-17">
\printglossary
 <br />\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]
</div>
<!--l. 602--><p class="nopar" >
</p><!--l. 604--><p class="indent" > The <span
class="cmss-10">glossary </span>package allows you to specify a short title (for the table of contents and
page header) by defining a command of the form <span
class="cmtt-10">\short</span><span
class="cmsy-10">⟨</span><span
class="cmti-10">glossary-type</span><span
class="cmsy-10">⟩</span><span
class="cmtt-10">name</span>. The
<span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>package doesn’t do this, but instead provides the <span
class="cmss-10">toctitle</span><a
id="dx1-16005"></a> key which can be
used in the optional argument to <span
class="cmtt-10">\printglossary</span><a
id="dx1-16006"></a>. For example, if you have created a
new glossary type called <span
class="cmtt-10">notation</span>, and you had defined
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-18">
\newcommand{\shortnotationname}{Notation}
</div>
<!--l. 614--><p class="nopar" > then you would need to use the <span
class="cmss-10">toctitle</span><a
id="dx1-16007"></a> key:
</p>
<div class="verbatim" id="verbatim-19">
\printglossary[type=notation,toctitle=Notation]
</div>
<!--l. 618--><p class="nopar" > The <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>package will ignore <span
class="cmtt-10">\shortnotationname</span><a
id="dx1-16008"></a>, so unless you have used it
elsewhere in the document, you may as well remove the definition.

<!--l. 625--><p class="noindent" >If you convert your document from using the <span
class="cmss-10">glossary </span>package to the <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>package,
you will need to delete any of the additional files, such as the <span
class="cmtt-10">.glo</span><a
id="dx1-17001"></a> file, that were
created by the <span
class="cmss-10">glossary </span>package, as the <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>package uses a different format.
Remember also, that if you used the <span
class="cmtt-10">makeglos</span><a
id="dx1-17002"></a> Perl script, you will need to use the
<span
class="cmtt-10">makeglossaries</span><a
id="dx1-17003"></a> Perl script instead. As from v1.17, the <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>package
can be used with either <span
class="cmtt-10">makeindex</span><a
id="dx1-17004"></a> or <span
class="cmtt-10">xindy</span><a
id="dx1-17005"></a>. Since <span
class="cmtt-10">xindy</span><a
id="dx1-17006"></a> was designed to be
multilingual, the new <span
class="cmss-10">glossaries </span>package is a much better option for non-English
documents.
