I have a macro that I use to print the first occurrences of terms in
small caps, and also to make them glossary entries, which LaTeX writes
in a .glo file. I mostly use this simply for checking against the
text, to see if all terms are defined, etc., but it occurs to me I
might actually want to *do* something with it, like produce a
glossary. Does anyone have any programs or macros that do *anything*
with the .glo file? I know there are indexing programs that use the
.idx file--are there similar tools of any sort for the .glo file?
(No, I don't know exactly what I want to do with it yet--I'm just
interested in the uses others have found for glossary entries.)

Here's an example of a MakeIndex style-file you'd need (use it with the command makeindex -s glossary.ist -o your-file.gls your-file.glo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ keyword "\\glossaryentry" preamble "\\begin{theglossary}\n" postamble "\n\n\\end{theglossary}\n" actual '=' quote '!' encap '|' level '>' delim_0 "\\pfill" delim_1 "\\pfill" delim_2 "\\pfill" lethead_flag 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greetings, Johannes Braams PTT Research Neher Laboratorium, P.O. box 421, 2260 AK Leidschendam, The Netherlands.
