General ⇒ glossaries | help basic

[rossco90]

Hi,

I am new to latex and am trying to create a glossary for my report. I have followed numerous instructions and I think I am fairly close but can't seem to get it to print any of the entries.

I understand that you need to run the indexing program make glossaries separately but as yet have not managed. Could somebody please give me step-by-step help?

Thanks,

Ross

Hi Ross,

welcome to the board!

There are step-by-step instructions in this very good article by Nicola Talbot: Glossaries, Nomenclature, Lists of Symbols and Acronyms. It shows how to configure TeXworks and TeXnicCenter and how to use the MakeGlossaries GUI and how to manually work with makeindex.

Thank you. I have already got as far as "using make glossaries" in these instructions but I am not sure how to apply this to TeXShop or where I will be able to find the make glossaries file on my pc?

Run makeglossaries or makeindex at the command prompt, i.e. within a terminal window.

Perhaps have a look at: Creating glossaries with TeXshop.
