MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Nomenclature Texmaker

[svrouwenvelder]

I want to add a nomenclature into my report. I've read the nomencl package documentation and it states that I should enter a command.

Code: Select all

1
makeindex <filename>.glo  -s  nomencl.ist  -o <filename>.gls

I couldn't find where to this. Can someone help me? I run Texmaker on Ubuntu Linux 10.04.

Cheers,

I tried so in the terminal (same as command prompt in Windows) and it kind of worked, although there is no file with the extension .glo, only .nlo. If I use this file for the makeindex command no output is generated.
These are briefly the codes I use:

Run LaTeX here

Anyone with a suggestion to make this work?

You have to type that command at a terminal prompt. If you don't know what that is, you have to learn about that before you do anything else in linux. It's impossible to use linux without using a terminal a lot. A real lot.

Congrats on moving to a grownup OS, but you have to break some bad MS habits, prolly.

Now, on to your example.

You MWE is a little too M. I'm assuming that you have a \documentclass line as the first thing. Also, you spelled \usepackage incorrectly. While that doesn't matter here, if you cut and pasted, then it's wrong in your code also.

BTW, I always include the type also, e.g.

Code: Select all

1
\nomenclature[Z]{KOH}{-- Potassium Hydroxide}

So, fix the code you posted as I indicated,
Then you run LaTeX.
Then you type:

Code: Select all

1
makeindex main.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o main.nls
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

at the command prompt (my top-level file is called main.ltx)
==> Then you run LaTeX AGAIN <==

Try that.

Since I'm giving out free advice, the best way to try this is to launch a terminal (xterm, rxvt term - don't know what ubuntu uses. If GNOME, then use their terminal program.) Then do all of the above instructions from the terminal.
=> cd to the directory where your doc is
=> latex main.ltx (for me; you use your top-level file)
=> makeindex main.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o main.nls
=> latex main.ltx

That should work.

It's impossible to use linux without using a terminal a lot. A real lot.

"Impossible" may be a bit strong. I used linux for several months before becoming very familiar with the terminal. But with LaTeX especially it really helps to be familiar with it. It's also very powerful in general.

OK, I confess I'm an anti-MS bigot. I think I have good reasons, but most people who deal with me regularly are used to my MS-rants.

In my lab, when a new person shows up, one of the first lectures I give is the "When I was a child, I computed as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things." lecture. The childish things, of course, are MS products, which, in my opinion, are mostly toys for people who don't want to be bothered with learning how to properly use a computer.

I'm ok with that for most people, but not for people who need to really learn computing, and need to go beyond writing a memo on Word or making a powerpoint presentation for their section.

I'll try to restrain myself on this forum.

Hi,
I found this thread. I'm using TexMaker on a mac. I have been able to manually get the nomenclature feature working, but would like to automate it when I build the pdf in TexMaker.
Is there a way to combine these two makeindex commands:

Code: Select all

1
2
"/usr/texbin/makeindex" %.idx
"/usr/texbin/makeindex" %.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o %.nls

I found that you can make a user command, so I was able to combine latex,bibtex,makeindex index and makeindex nomenclature.
Here is the custom command I created:

Code: Select all

1
"/usr/texbin/latex" -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|"/usr/texbin/bibtex" %.aux|"/usr/texbin/makeindex" %.idx|"/usr/texbin/makeindex" %.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o %.nls|"/usr/texbin/latex" -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|"/usr/texbin/pdflatex" -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|"/Applications/Adobe Reader.app" %.pdf
