HI....
I'm trying to create a glossary for a file.tex file.
Here's what I've done :
1) in the preamble, declared \makeglossary
2) after each word that should appear in the the glossary, typed
\glossary{word to be defined}
3) compiled using :
latex file.tex
4) an output file is produced :
file.glo
5) the file.glo *does not* contain the
"\glossaryentry{str}{pg}" as documented on pg.189 of _latex_
(Lamport, 1985). Rather, it contains :
"\indexentry{str}{pg}"
Could you pleas tell me what the problem is?
Assuming that the output *is* correct, e.g. as pg. 189 states,
how can I auto-generate this into a glossary, with the format
mentioned for \description env't. (pg. 27).?
What \documentstyle do I use, etc.
There is also mention of the "idx.tex" file (pg. 78). How
do I use it (for the indexing env't, of course).
And, finally, what is the "theindex" env't, how do we use it?
Thanks a lot!!
Mark
