Usage

The glossaries entries definition has to be done in the document environment.

For defining acronyms and symbols for Latex documents the glossaries package is a powerful solution. If there are a lot of entries defined, it gets hard to remember all their labels. Therefor this package is created. But, to create a database of all defined entries is a major issue, because there are several commands with different syntax. In addition, in many cases custom commands are used for creating entries. To overcome this issue the package uses the workaround of the glossaries package when the entries not defined in the preamble. In this case a external file (jobname.glsdefs) is created with all entries, which can easily parsed¹. Thus, to use package follow these steps.

1. Define your entries within the document environment
2. Compile your latex document
3. Entries should now be suggested.
