NAME
makeglossaries - Calls makeindex/xindy for LaTeX documents using
glossaries package
SYNOPSIS
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
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
-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.
--version
Prints version number and exits.
--help
Prints help message and exits.
REQUIRES
Perl, Getopt::Std, and makeindex or xindy (depending on glossaries
package options).
