General ⇒ Glossary not printed

[Scorpion]

Hey,

I use the package glossaries in this way.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[acronym,toc]{glossaries}

It works so far in the text, but now at the end of my thesis I wanted to print it out.

Code: Select all

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,title=XXX,nonumberlist=true,toctitle=XXX, style=altlong4colwithindent]

But it just prints out an empty page and there is also no entry in the ToC. The style works, because I already used this for the bachelors thesis and that's why I have almost no idea how I can make it work!

The only thing I can think of is that I have to put some parameters to MakeIndex but when I try this (in TeXnicCenter) I just get errors.

Code: Select all

-s "%tm.ist" -t "%tm.alg" -o "%tm.acr" "%tm.acn"

I really need help because I have to submit in two days and I have no clue how to fix it.

Can you please post a minimal working example that let's us reproduce your issues?

When I copied you code to a file test.tex and compiled

1. with pdflatex (pdflatex test)
2. with makeglossaries (makeglossaries test)
3. with pdflatex (pdflatex test)

everything looks as I expect it to... no errors and the acronym shows up in the list as it should.

omg.... the problem was the "ü" i had in the title of the glossaries

[cgnieder]

Did you run the makeglossaries program on the file? You said something about makeindex (which works but makeglossaries tales care of any needed options, style files, ...).

That's strange: your example compiled for me just fine -- including the “ü”
