I'm trying to make a dictionary of terms which can include images or tables. My first idea was to use the glossaries package. I should clarify that I need it's a dictionary and glossaries package seems to need use \gls command to create entries. I only need the entries, my document doesn't include references to words, so I'm not going to use \gls. I've seen other examples and templates, but I have many entries and I'd like they sort themselves and by sections (maybe). In particular, the example is so much complicated for me. I would like something simple.
My attemps was the next:
\documentclass[a4paper, 10pt]{book} \usepackage[spanish]{babel} \usepackage[backend=biber, natbib=true, style=apa, hyperref=true, maxcitenames=2]{biblatex} \usepackage{csquotes} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage[automake,toc]{glossaries-extra} \makeglossaries \newglossaryentry{latex} { name=LaTeX, description={Un sistema de preparación de documentos de alta calidad; es especialmente adecuado para la producción de documentos técnicos y científicos} } \newglossaryentry{glosario} { name=Glosario, description={Una lista de términos con sus respectivas definiciones, usualmente al final de un documento} } \usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref} \title{Illustrated glossary} \author{Me} \begin{document} \maketitle \tableofcontents \mainmatter \chapter{Protista} \gls{glosario} \gls{latex} \chapter{Poríferos} \gls{glosario} \gls{latex} \chapter{Celentéreos} \gls{glosario} \gls{latex} \printglossary \end{document} But I want to get is something similar to this:
\documentclass{book} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[spanish]{babel} \usepackage{glossaries} \makeglossaries \newglossaryentry{latex} { name=LaTeX, description={Un sistema de preparación de documentos de alta calidad; es especialmente adecuado para la producción de documentos técnicos y científicos} } \newglossaryentry{glosario} { name=Glosario, description={Una lista de términos con sus respectivas definiciones, usualmente al final de un documento} } \begin{document} \title{Glosario de Términos} \author{Tú} \date{\today} \maketitle \chapter*{Protista} \section*{G} \begin{description} \item[Glosario] \glsdesc{glosario} \end{description} \section*{L} \begin{description} \item[LaTeX] \glsdesc{latex} \end{description} \chapter*{Celentéreos} \section*{G} \begin{description} \item[Glosario] \glsdesc{glosario} \end{description} \section*{L} \begin{description} \item[LaTeX] \glsdesc{latex} \end{description} \clearpage \printglossary \end{document} I don't really know how to get it, or even if it's possible. If there's other package which can sort the terms in a similar way, it would be useful too. Thanks in advance
