General ⇒ Glossaries: format 1st entry different from subsequent ones?

[danol]

Hello,

I'm using the glossaries package:

http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros ... begin.html
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros ... anual.html

I see that I can change the format of all entries with e.g.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\glstextformat}[1]{\textbf{#1}}  

- for bold entries. Question: I want the first entry in bold, and subsequent entries formated as normal. Does anyone happen to know a way I can do this? I can't find an option for altering the format of the two separately.

Thanks,

Dan

You could try redefining \glsdisplayfirst:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{sample}{name={sample},description={an example}}

\renewcommand*{\glsdisplayfirst}[4]{\textbf{#1#4}}

\begin{document}

First: \gls{sample}. Next: \gls{sample}.

\printglossaries

\end{document}
