Automatic construction of glossaries #5

Open tadashiK opened 5 years ago

tadashiK commented 5 years ago

I am sorry for suddenly making many suggestions, but how about using a package such as glossaries to automatically construct lists of abbreviations, glossaries and nomenclatures?

If you think it would be nice, I am willing to work on it (because I will use glossaries in my thesis in any case).

Don't apologize for making suggestions, especially if you're willing to put in the work 👍

In principle I'm open to the idea! It all depends on how complicated it is. If it's easy to use, then no problem. We need to add documentation in one of the chapters then.

I noticed that glossaries package requires perl, which windows machine usually does not have. If OIST will support the use of Overleaf, using glossaries package might be fine. However, currently OIST does not. So, it would be better not to use glossaries package in a template.

OIST will have Overleaf support within a few days, as it turns out. Ami is going to create some templates today based on these ones (but I've told her to wait for the thesis ones)

It is very nice! Then, let me try to use glossaries package.
