Page Layout ⇒ list of abbreviations with nomencl

[michael_b]

Hey everybody,

at present i try to make a list of abbreviation with the usepacked nomencl.
I use latexlive and winedt 6.0.

My Code looks like for a small example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{nomencl}
  \let\abbrev\nomenclature
  \renewcommand{\nomname}{Abkürzungsverzeichnis}
  \setlength{\nomlabelwidth}{.25\hsize}
  \renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{#1 \dotfill}
  \setlength{\nomitemsep}{-\parsep}
  \makeglossary

\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
  \newcommand{\markup}[1]{\uline{#1}}

\begin{document}
    ...
  \printglossary
    ...
  \abbrev{XML}{e\markup{x}tensible \markup{m}arkup \markup{l}anguage}
    ...
\end{document}

if i want compile this with latex it will comes an error:

Code: Select all

 [2] (./Review.tex) [3] (./Thesis-Masterdocument.toc) [1]
(./Thesis-Masterdocument.lof)
! Undefined control sequence.
l.52     \printglossary
                       
? 

can somebody help me to fix that problem?

I would think that it requires to insert \makenomenclature and \printnomenclature (instead of \makeglossary and \printglossary) when working with the nomencl package.

Thanks it works.

I use Winedit 6.0, do you have an idea how i can handle it to compile with winedit without typing in the console everytime: makeindex document.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o document.nls

[localghost]

I don't use WinEdt, so I can't advise any further. Isn't there the possibility to create new buttons for the toolbar like those which let you compile your document or create an index? If so, this might be an approach for a solution.
