overleaf
Glossary is not printed
I have local installation of the Overleaf Community Version. The defined acronyms are recognized - get printed by \acrshort{} and \acrfull{}, but the glossary won't get printed even if I use the very example for glossaries from the Overleaf documentation.
Steps to Reproduce
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newacronym{gcd}{GCD}{Greatest Common Divisor}
\newacronym{lcm}{LCM}{Least Common Multiple}
\begin{document}
Given a set of numbers, there are elementary methods to compute
its \acrlong{gcd}, which is abbreviated \acrshort{gcd}. This process
is similar to that used for the \acrfull{lcm}.
\clearpage
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]
\end{document}
Compile using any of the compilers
Expected Behaviour
"Acronyms" glossary should be printed on page 2
Observed Behaviour
Glossary not printed.
Context
Technical Info
Community Edition, sharelatex:with-texlive-full, Win11, Docker v4.12.0
Analysis
No .acn file generated among the project files in overleaf-toolkit\data\sharelatex\data\compiles\xxx. Manual makedictionaries output.acn and re-generation of the pdf fixes this but --- needs to be done manually...?
I've just attempted to reproduce this in the latest version of Overleaf Community Edition, and I do see the Acronyms glossary printed on page 2.
It's possible that this could vary depending on the TeX Live packages that are installed.
@MathesiusSuperbus As it's been a while since this was reported, could you confirm whether this is still an issue?
It seems the bug still exists. I can reproduce this on the latest version of CE with either TexLive 2022 and 2023 (both with scheme-full installed). However, the bug does not reproduce on the official Overleaf site.
Got a solution. Seems like the \printnoidxglossaries was working, but \printglossaries wasn't. By including automake in my package option and calling \makeglossaries, it worked.
Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[automake]{glossaries}
\newglossaryentry{latex}{
name=latex,
description={is a mark up language specially}
}
\makeglossaries
\begin{document}
The \Gls{latex} typesetting markup language.
\printglossaries
\end{document}
