GLOSSTEX(1)
β¨ GLOSSTEX β¨
okay bestie, gather round, because glosstex is the little Unix baddie that handles your glossaries and your lists of acronyms π she's not famous, she's not flashy, but she eats every single time π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
glosstex AUX GDF... [-v[0-5]]
likeβ¦ yes, that's the whole thing. she's lowkey minimal. iconic behavior honestly π¦
π DESCRIPTION π
So here's the vibe: glosstex generates a glossary π using the glossary definitions that live in the .gdf file, aka GDF, and it does all of this for your LaTeX .aux file, aka AUX.
That's it. That's the whole job. She takes your definitions, she takes your aux, she makes the glossary happen. no cap β¨
π OPTIONS π
-vVERBOSITYβ she's gonna explain what is being done, like a bestie narrating her own life π and VERBOSITY is from0to5, so you can pick how chatty she gets. 0 is giving silent treatment, 5 is giving full commentary track π₯
