Glossary old file

Post by user59971 »

Hi,

I am writing my PhD with a PhD/MPhil Thesis - a LaTeX Template (http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/tex ... esisStyle/) and trying to add a glossary.

I change the glossary.tex file, but keep getting the example after compiling even if I erase the auxilliary files. As I understand it, it has to do with makeindex not making index correctly (me = tex noob).

Tried adding arguments to makeindex with texwork:

$basename.nlo
-s
nomencl.ist
$basename.nls

Nothing changes. The file .nlo is empty.

Tried using Make Glossary with WinEdt and I get an error message "index style file thesis.ist not found..." and yes, it does not exist.

In the code:

\usepackage[intoc]{nomencl} % load nomencl extension; include in TOC
\makenomenclature

\begin{document}

\include{0_frontmatter/glossary}
\printnomenclature[1.5cm] % [] = distance between entry and description

....

Solved by using "glossaries".
