Glossaryfix

Open urschrei opened this issue 14 years ago • 3 comments

This is a fix to re-enable support for glossaries in MMD. The main changes are in memoir.xslt, and in support.pm, where the makeindex and kpathsea commands have been replaced (in accordance with the 'glossaries' package documentation) with 'makeglossaries', which now handles all glossary processing. The glossaries package is included by default in TeX Live 2009 and 2010.

glossaries are fixed in MMD 3 (I think! ;). Will work on MMD 2 later.

Oh yes, that was an early fix in the process. Do bear in mind that support.pm (or whatever you plan to provide latex compilation in MMD3) will have to be modified with something similar to the changes made to support.pm in d6161b0 above, since the glossaries package makes use of the makeglossaries script, instead of multiple makeindex and kpsewhich runs.

I am actually leaning towards having MMD stop at the generation of a .Tex file and leaving processing into PDF to the user. It seems to confuse a lot of people who don't understand that MMD doesn't actually produce PDF. Latex does, and MMD just tries to simplify running latex.

I will probably just point them towards latexmk.

But it's not 100% decided for sure.
