MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Makeindex: glossaries package with acronym option

[nicol]

Dear all



I have a problem with the glossaries package with the option acronym.

I am using texmaker on windows.

I modified the makeindex command with:

Code: Select all

makeindex %.idx %.glo -t %.glg -s %.ist -o %.gls %.acn

and I run
pdflatex -- makeindex -- pdflatex -- pdflatex

The problem is that I cannot print the list of the acronym as separated by the glossary in two separated sections.

I managed to print "only" the main glossaries with acronyms and glossary entries together

this is the code I used:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[4apaper]{book}

\usepackage[german,french,spanish,english]{babel}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex

\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}


\newglossaryentry{parola}{name=parola,
description={Bla Bla}}

\newacronym{TEM}{TEM}{scanning electron microscope}

\newacronym{lVm}{LVM}{Logical Volume Manager}

\makeglossaries

\begin{document}


\chapter{Chap One}
Ciao\acrshort{lVm} Ciao\gls{TEM} Ciao\gls{parola}


\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]
\printglossary


\end{document}

I tried also the simple \printglossaries instead of the two separated commands \printglossary[type=\acronymtype] and \printglossary, but nothing changed.




How can I do?

Hi Nicol,

YOu don't need to do anything with the makeindex command. Instead run makeglossaries.

If I run your code with

1. pdflatex
2. makeglossaries
3. pdflatex

I get a document with five pages containing of chapter »Chap One«, a chapter »Acronyms« and a chapter »Glossary« as expected.

Regards

sorry for my ignorance but...

how can I run makeglossaries?

Tekmaker doesn't work with it even if I created the command
makeindex%

following these instructions ( http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... on-windows )

Try the command line. If your file is called test.tex you should be able to call

Code: Select all

makeglossaries test

How you tell TeXmaker to use it I have no idea since I never used that editor.

Thank you very much

what do you use? (just for information)

I used to use Kile a lot but I switched to emacs not too long ago. (I even wrote a blog post about that )

Maybe just a mistake when writing the post, but you have to input makeglossaries % as the new defined command.

Btw: Texmaker is useful for editing tex-files. There are other editors which are especially helpful for other files (like e.g. HTML).
Some editors are more powerful than others and can do almost everything (aside from making coffee), the big two are emacs and vim. Personally, i do everything in vim. Both are a bit complicated at first.
Let your personal taste decide who wins the editor war.

Well, since TeX can make toast it should be possible to make coffee as well. (Maybe even without TeX but with your editor of choice...)
