General ⇒ Nomenclature does not appear

[greennell]

Hi,

I have a problem with nomenclature, working in TexMaker. I have a master document with multiple subdocs. So far I tied to solve the problem how it is described here

Code: Select all

\useackage{nomencl}   //package
\begin{document}  
\makenomenclature     // 
\printnomenclature    // the place where nomenclature is
\nomenclature{I}{Area moment of inertia}
\end{document}

PS: for latex terminal:

1. latex   xxx.tex
2.  makeindex main.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o main.nls

3.latex xxx.tex   //dvi file generated

4. dvipdfm xxx.dvi 

If you want to compile it in Texmaker, go to configure, under makeindex,set it to makeindex %.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o %.nls .

then pdflatex, makeindex,pdflatex !

but it still does not work. Need help.

The code won't work, never ever. The documentclass is missing and there is no //-comment in LaTeX.

I recommend to use packages acro or glossaries to do the job. Both can be modified to a high degree, glossaries is the most powerful package concerning nomenclature, acronyms and gloassries.
