Hi Pramod,

welcome to the board!

For such a purpose I would use the nomencl package or the glossaries package. Just follow the links to get information and documentation. You could compare and decide which one you want to use.

If you encounter problems, you can describe them here, including error messages and as much information as possible. This makes it easier to provide help.

Actually the Forum Search should yield a mass of appropriate solutions done either with the glossaries or nomencl package. Perhaps you can enlighten us by a minimal example and clarify what exactly does not work for you.


Best regards and welcome to the board
