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.
