Using Texmaker with glossaries on Windows
The makeglossaries
program is quite easy to use: if your main LaTeX file is called file.tex
, then all that's needed is to run
makeglossaries file
To add a suitable action in Texmaker, just go to the
User > User commands > Edit User Commands
menu entry and, in the window that appears, add
makeglossaries
in the upper box (it's just the name which will be shown in the "User>User Commands" drop down menu) and
makeglossaries %
in the lower box. Then, in order to run makeglossaries
on the current file, just choose the new menu item (or use the keyboard shortcut shown next to the menu entry). The %
stands for the current file name (without extension), as explained in the window.
It's probably possible to define an action that concatenates executions of pdflatex
, makeglossaries
and pdflatex
again, but I think it's not necessary to have glossaries synchronized at each compilation during document preparation. Just be confident that they will be when makeglossaries
is run and pdflatex
is run again.
To complement egreg's answer. A very simple way to integrate glossaries in Texmaker (windows) is to add automake
in the usepackage{glossaries}
option like this
\usepackage[automake]{glossaries}
This automatically makes the glossaries.
