7       glossaries package
8

SYNOPSIS

10       makeglossaries [-o file] [-q] [-Q] [-k] [-n] [-s file] [-t file] [-L
11       language] [-c] [-g] [-l] [-p num] [-r] [-d aux dir] [-m file] [-x file]
12       [--version] [--help] basename
13

DESCRIPTION

15       makeglossaries is designed for use with LaTeX documents that use the
16       glossaries package. The mandatory argument basename should be the name
17       of the LaTeX document without the .tex extension.  makeglossaries will
18       read the auxiliary file to determine whether makeindex or xindy should
19       be called. All the information required to be passed to the relevant
20       indexing application should also be contained in the auxiliary file,
21       but may be overridden by the option arguments to makeglossaries.
22

OPTIONS

24       -q  Quiet mode. Reduces chatter to standard output.
25
26       -Q  Silences warning about being unable to fork.
27
28       -k  Don't try forking with piped redirection. (Lessens the effect of
29           -q)
30
31       -n  Print the commands that would normally be executed but don't run
32           them.
33
34       -o file
35           Use file as the output file. (Only suitable for documents
36           containing a single glossary, otherwise each glossary will be
37           overridden.)
38
39       -s file
40           Use file as the style file. Note that if you use this option, you
41           need to know whether makeindex or xindy will be called, as they
42           have different style files.
43
44       -t file
45           Use file as the transcript file.
46
47       -l  Letter ordering.
48
49       -L language
50           This option only has an effect if xindy is called. Sets the
51           language. See xindy documentation for further details.
52
53       -c  Compress intermediate blanks (makeindex only).
54
55       -g  Employ German word ordering (makeindex only).
56
57       -p num
58           Sets the starting page number to be num (makeindex only).
59
60       -r  Disable implicit page range formation (makeindex only).
61
62       -d aux dir
63           Specify the directory the .aux, .glo etc files are located.
64           Defaults to the parent directory of the base file filename.
65
66       -m file
67           Specify the full path name for makeindex to file in the event that
68           makeindex isn't on the operating system's path.
69
70       -x file
71           Specify the full path name for xindy to file in the event that
72           xindy isn't on the operating system's path.
73
74       --version
75           Prints version number and exits.
