General ⇒ nomenclature/glossary

[kostoglotov]

Hi there,
I wanted to ask you for help with 2 things:

1/ Glossary
When I use command "\nomenclature{symbol}{description}" it creates an input into .nlo file but it won't appear in .nls file and therefore in the document. Only when I re-write entries in .nls file manually I can see the result in my document - somehow .nlo doesn't feed .nls file. Any idea why? I guess it'd something "trivial" but apparently behind my experience/ability... I have tried to fix it by myself using documentation for "nomencl" as recommended by one of you, but unsuccessfully so far (apart of the fact that I am able to produce now glossary at least manually... ).

2/ In my document, first few pages contain a line on top of the page right above the title (e.g. Abstract, Acknowledgement...). I would like to get rid of it but cannot find where it is defined. I have looked through .cls file but haven't find anything.

I have attached those files...

Thank you,
a.k.

Hi all,
I have tried to fix my glossary as you probably know from my previous posts...
I was not successful though. Well, I wanted to ask if anyone could provide an example/file of working glossary they might have... It would be really helpfull.
Cheers.

Hi,

here's a very small example using nomencl:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nomencl}
\makenomenclature
\begin{document}
\section{Test}
\begin{equation}
  e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0
\end{equation}%
\nomenclature{$e$}{Euler's number}%
\nomenclature{$\pi$}{The ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter}%
\printnomenclature
\end{document}

I called the document nomencltest.tex. After compiling I called makeindex at the commad line:

Code: Select all

makeindex nomencltest.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o nomencltest.nls

I compiled once more and the nomenclature appeared in the pdf output.
