Hi, I just learned about TeX and it seems like just the solution I have been looking for. I have a collection of books which I want to add indexes and glossaries to. It looks like Latex is great for this. Additionally I know there will be a fair amount of shared glossary entries between books, I am hoping there is a way to expedite the process, something like a shared glossary (would be a dictionary at that point I guess) that I can borrow from to make individual glossaries.
I haven't even started learning how it all works yet, so I am posting just to get some certainty about using the right programs.
I have just installed TeX Live and the Tex Studio program packaged with my Linux distro. Should that do what I need or is there something else that would be better?

Re: Suggestions for Shared Glossaries between books
Hi Chisao,
welcome to the forum!
Looks like you got what you need - the TeX Live software, and a suitable editor, also a good choice.
There's a very capable package for glossaries: https://ctan.org/pkg/glossaries It can do so much, that the documentation is huge. It's like learning LaTeX on one hand, and learning the glossaries package on the other hand.
