category Package
shortdesc Create and manipulate lists of symbols
longdesc Listofsymbols provides commands to automatically create a list of
longdesc symbols (also called notation or nomenclature), and to handle
longdesc symbols logically, i.e. define a macro that is expanded to the
longdesc desired output and use the macro in the text rather than
longdesc `hardcoding' the output into the text.  This helps to ensure
longdesc consistency throughout the text, especially if there is a chance
longdesc that symbols will be changed at some stage. The package is more or
longdesc less a combination of what the packages nomencl and formula do.
longdesc The concept of creating the list of symbols, though, is different
longdesc from the way nomencl.sty does it. [description copied from TeX
