MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Nomenclature

[mes38]

I'm using TexWorks 0.3 and having big problems with the nomencl package - It creates the nlo file without a problem, but just won't create the nls file, resulting in a blank page.

Any ideas?

even the sample code doesn't work!:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{nomencl} 
\makenomenclature

\begin{document}

\section*{Main equations}

\begin{equation} 
a=\frac{N}{A} 
\end{equation}%

\nomenclature{$a$}{The number of angels per unit area}% 
\nomenclature{$N$}{The number of angels per needle point}% 
\nomenclature{$A$}{The area of the needle point}% 
The equation $\sigma = m a$% 
\nomenclature{$\sigma$}{The total mass of angels per unit area}% 
\nomenclature{$m$}{The mass of one angel} 
follows easily.

\printnomenclature

\end{document}

You have to run MakeIndex on the *.nlo file. There are several possible approaches for that.

• Run it on the command line. You will have to do this whenever there are modifications to your nomenclature.
• Try the build profile »LaTeXmk« from the TeXworks drop down menu. Probably it does all the necessary steps automatically.
• Create an entry »Nomenclature« for a TeXworks build profile with parameters for MakeIndex as described in Section 2.1 of the nomencl manual.

And by the way, the forum software offers a »Code« environment to tag code as such. You can find it in the button list right above the input window while composing a post. Would be very kind if you use it. It just keeps a post clear and legible.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you so much for your help - I'm still trying to find my way round LaTex and struggle with things like this!

I managed with the third option in the end.

Cheers,
