This is my first time with glossaries. I want a symbols list with references to the page where the symbol appears (like in the basic examples!), but for some reason I cannot make the references appear. After reading some manuals and questions here, I have added some options and I'm trying with glossaries-extra. This is what I have:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref} \usepackage[symbols,nogroupskip,sort=use,automake,xindy]{glossaries-extra} \makeindex \makeglossaries \glsxtrnewsymbol[description={an angle}]{al}{\ensuremath{\alpha}} \begin{document} \gls{al} \printunsrtglossary[type=symbols,title={Symbols List}] \end{document}

and this is the output: enter image description here

but I want to add the page number where the symbol \alpha in red occurs.

I have tried the following compilation:

pdflatex foo makeindex -s foo.ist -o foo.gls foo.glo pdflatex foo

and overleaf compilation.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

\printunsrtglossary doesn't show the numbers unless you use it with bib2gls. (See glossaries-extra and bib2gls: An Introductory Guide.) If you want to use makeindex then you need to use \printglossary instead. However, you've actually used the xindy package option, which means the associated files need to be processed using xindy instead of makeindex. With sort=use, there's no particular benefit in using xindy instead of makeindex, so you can remove that package option.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref} \usepackage[symbols,nogroupskip,sort=use,automake]{glossaries-extra} \makeglossaries \glsxtrnewsymbol[description={an angle}]{al}{\ensuremath{\alpha}} \begin{document} \gls{al} \printglossary[type=symbols,title={Symbols List}] \end{document}

The symbols glossary doesn't use the .glo and .gls extensions, so your makeindex call won't generate the appropriate files. However, the automake option should run makeindex using the shell escape.

If you prefer to use the helper makeglossaries script (or makeglossaries-lite) to run makeindex or xindy according to the document setup, see Incorporating makeglossaries or makeglossaries-lite or bib2gls into the document build for help incorporating it into your build process.
