Page with Symbols and Notation
You could use the glossaries package; a little example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\newglossary{symbols}{sym}{sbl}{List of Abbreviations and Symbols}
\makeglossary
\newglossaryentry{fn}{type=symbols,name={\ensuremath{F_n}},sort=fn,
description={Empirical (sample) distribution function}}
\newglossaryentry{fncon}{type=symbols,name={\ensuremath{F^{n^\ast}}},sort=fnc,
description={$n$-fold convolution of the distribution function/distribution $F$}}
\begin{document}
\gls{fn}
\gls{fncon}
\printglossaries
\end{document}
The document must be processed using, for example, (pdf)latex + makeglossaries + (pdf)latex
. Refer to the package documentation to see all the possibilities it offers.
Is it a nomenclature? Then you can use nomentbl
package for this.
A MWE
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[intoc]{nomentbl}
\makenomenclature
\renewcommand{\nomname}{List of Abbreviations and Symbols}
\renewcommand{\nompreamble}{Following symbols are used in the present work:}
\setlength{\nomitemsep}{-\parsep}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\printnomenclature
\clearpage
\phantomsection
This is $F$\label{nomen:F} \nomenclature[EF]{$F$}{Objective function}{}{\pageref{nomen:F}}
\clearpage
\newpage
\phantomsection
This is $ND\_SNK$\label{nomen:ND} \nomenclature[EN]{$ND\_SNK$}{Total number of load buses in sink area}{}{\pageref{nomen:ND}}
\newpage
\phantomsection
This is $P_{Gi}$\label{nomen:Gi} \nomenclature[EP]{$P_{Gi}$}{Real power generation at bus $i$}{MW}{\pageref{nomen:Gi}}
\end{document}
By using a label and hyperref
the page numbers can be turned into clickage links.
This has to be compiled with pdflatex
. And then, you have to run makeindex.exe -s nomentbl.ist -t "doi.nlg" -o "doi.nls" "doi.nlo"
, where doi
is the name of your .tex (doi.tex) file. And, agian you have to run pdflatex on
doi.tex`.
