Text Formatting ⇒ glossaries | User Keys do not appear

[sauvage]

With the glossaries package, instead of having (long style):

name description.

in the glossary, I would like to use the user key user1 and display:

name user1 (in italic), description

For that purpose, I have defined my own style, but the user key user1 does not appear in the PDF. After investigations, I realize that it does not appear in the GLS and GLO files as well. Where am I wrong? My test code is the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{glossaries}[2012/05/21]

\newglossarystyle{mystyle}{%
   \glossarystyle{long}
   \renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
     \glstarget{##1}{##2} &%
     \textit{\glsentryuseri{##1}}, ##3 \\%
   }
}

\makeglossaries %% Créer la liste des acronymes

\begin{document}

\printglossary[style=mystyle]

\newglossaryentry{keyOne}{
name=nameOne,
description={descOne},
user1={userOne}
}
\gls{keyOne}

\newglossaryentry{keyTwo}{
name=nameTwo,
description={descTwo},
user1={userTwo}
}
\gls{keyTwo}

\end{document}

Actually I have no idea why your code isn't working. The first thing I did when looking for a solution was to rearrange your code and then it worked...

Code: Select all

% arara: pdflatex
% arara: makeglossaries
% arara: pdflatex
\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{glossaries}[2012/05/21]

\newglossarystyle{mystyle}{%
   \glossarystyle{long}
   \renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
     \glstarget{##1}{##2} &%
     \textit{\glsentryuseri{##1}}, ##3 \\%
   }
}

\makeglossaries %% Créer la liste des acronymes

\newglossaryentry{keyOne}{
  name        = nameOne,
  description = {descOne},
  user1       = {userOne}
}

\newglossaryentry{keyTwo}{
  name        = nameTwo,
  description = {descTwo},
  user1       = {userTwo}
}

\begin{document}

\glsaddall
\printglossary[style=mystyle]

\end{document}

For that purpose, I have defined my own style, but the user key user1 does not appear in the PDF. After investigations, I realize that it does not appear in the GLS and GLO files as well.

The user keys don't get written to the glossary files as they aren't used for sorting.

Code: Select all

\printglossary[style=mystyle]

\newglossaryentry{keyOne}{
name=nameOne,
description={descOne},
user1={userOne}
}
\gls{keyOne}

In the above, you've reference the user keys (in \printglossary) before they've been defined, which is why they haven't appeared. (\glsuserentryi etc don't check for the existence of the entry to ensure they are expandable.)

Thanks for your response. As I need to declare the glossary entries in the document, i.e. after \begin{document} and \printglossary, I finally use the symbol key instead of the user1 key. It's now working fine:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

%% === Acronymes ===
\usepackage{glossaries}[2012/05/21]

\newglossarystyle{mystyle}{%
   \glossarystyle{long}
   \renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
     \glsentryitem{##1}
     \glstarget{##1}{##2} &%
     \textit{##4}, ##3 \\%
   }
}

\makeglossaries %% Créer la liste des acronymes

\begin{document}

\printglossary[style=mystyle]

\newglossaryentry{keyOne}{
name=nameOne,
description={descOne},
symbol={userOne}
}
\gls{keyOne}

\newglossaryentry{keyTwo}{
name=nameTwo,
description={descTwo},
symbol={userTwo}
}
\gls{keyTwo}

\end{document}
