Glossaries and Acronyms with LaTeX using the glossaries package
Put the following (adapted from the supplied minimalgls.tex file) into a file called doc.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries} % make a separate list of acronyms
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{sample}{name={sample},
description={a sample entry}}
\newacronym[\glsshortpluralkey=cas,\glslongpluralkey=contrived
acronyms]{aca}{aca}{a contrived acronym}
\begin{document}
A \gls{sample} entry and \gls{aca}. Second use: \gls{aca}.
Plurals: \glspl{sample}. Reset acronym\glsreset{aca}.
First use: \glspl{aca}. Second use: \glspl{aca}.
\printglossaries
\end{document}
Then do
latex doc
makeglossaries doc
latex doc
The resulting file should have some text, a glossary and an acronym section.
Note that the command lines required might be slightly different at
your site - the example above works on CUED Unix Teaching System.
If you have problems, check the *.log and *.glg files for
information.
For details on troubleshooting, features and multiple glossaries, see the glossaries documentation.
