glossaries package
makeglossaries [-o file] [-q]
[-Q] [-k] [-n] [-s file] [-t
file] [-L language] [-c] [-g] [-l]
[-p num] [-r] [-d aux dir] [-m
file] [-x file] [-e] [--version]
[--help] basename
makeglossaries is designed for use with LaTeX documents
that use the glossaries package. The mandatory argument basename
should be the name of the LaTeX document without the .tex extension.
makeglossaries will read the auxiliary file to determine whether
makeindex or xindy should be called. All the information
required to be passed to the relevant indexing application should also be
contained in the auxiliary file, but may be overridden by the option
arguments to makeglossaries.
- -e
- Don't attempt to repair multiple encaps or illegal page number
(makeindex only).
- -c
- Compress intermediate blanks (makeindex only).
- -d aux dir
- Specify the directory the .aux, .glo etc files are located. Defaults to
the parent directory of the base file filename.
- -g
- Employ German word ordering (makeindex only).
- -k
- Don't try forking with piped redirection. (Lessens the effect of -q)
- -l
- Letter ordering.
- -L language
- This option only has an effect if xindy is called. Sets the
language. See xindy documentation for further details.
- -m file
- Specify the full path name for makeindex to file in the
event that makeindex isn't on the operating system's path.
- -n
- Print the commands that would normally be executed but don't run
them.
- -o file
- Use file as the output file. (Only suitable for documents
containing a single glossary, otherwise each glossary will be
overridden.)
- -p num
- Sets the starting page number to be num (makeindex
only).
- -q
- Quiet mode. Reduces chatter to standard output.
- -Q
- Silences warning about being unable to fork.
- -r
- -s file
- Use file as the style file. Note that if you use this option, you
need to know whether makeindex or xindy will be called, as
they have different style files.
- -t file
- Use file as the transcript file.
Disable implicit page range formation (makeindex
only).
- -x file
- Specify the full path name for xindy to file in the event
that xindy isn't on the operating system's path.
