MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Glossary reference with number next to it

[Stuntkoala]

I'm sorry this is probably very basic, but I'm new to latex and it's slowly driving me insane. All I want to do is make references (in the text) to my Glossary that I create with \gls{exampleentry} have a number displayed next to it, so the reader knows where to find it in the glossary. Something like this [3]

This is what it looks like currently:

Code: Select all

% in my Preamble:
\makeglossaries
 
\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
    name=latex,
    description={Is a mark up language specially suited 
    for scientific documents}
}

% in my Document:
\gls{latex}

Help would be appreciated.

Usually glossary entries can be found be name so I do not understand what the number should be. Can you please show us a minimal working example of what you already have. Maybe this would explain, what this number is. If the minimal working example is not self explaining, please also explain the sense of the number and what the number should be.

Yes you are right. I reconsidered and decided I don't need them. I'll just make the words italic to indicate there is a glossary entry for them.
Thanks for your time anyway.
