For the CTAN team
glossaries – Create glossaries and lists of acronyms
The glossaries package supports acronyms and multiple glossaries,
and has provision for operation in several languages (using the
facilities of either babel or
polyglossia). New entries
are defined to have a name and description (and optionally an
associated symbol). Support for multiple languages is offered,
and plural forms of terms may be specified. An additional
package,
glossaries-accsupp, can
make use of the accsupp package
mechanisms for accessibility support for PDF files containing
glossaries.
The user may define new glossary styles, and preambles and
postambles can be specified. There is provision for loading a
database of terms, but only terms used in the text will be added to
the relevant glossary.
The package uses an indexing program to provide the actual
glossary; either makeindex or
xindy may serve this purpose, and a
Perl script is provided to serve as interface.
This package requires the
mfirstuc package.
The package supersedes the author’s
glossary package (which is now
obsolete).
