Glossary on Latex

Post by kotoko »

Hi all!

I'm trying to create a glossary.

I have tried the instructions on http://texblog.wordpress.com/2007/11/01 ... -in-latex/.

I'm trying to insert a reference and to test I just copy+pasted the example in the website

Code: Select all

\glossary{name={entry name}, description={entry description}}
But I get

Code: Select all

! Package keyval Error:  description undefined.

See the keyval package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.19 ...ry name}, description={entry description}}
I can't understand what is working and what isn't, anyone has any idea?

The glossary package has been superseded by glossaries. Take a look at the documentation for the newer package: there are some example files.

There's also an article in the Know How section on this site giving an introduction to using the glossaries package.
