  • To use an entry from glossary you first need to define it. There are few ways to define an entry depending on what you define and how it is going to be used.

    Note that a defined entry won't be included in the printed glossary unless it is used in the document. This enables you to create a glossary of general terms and just \include it in all your documents.

  • To define a term in glossary you use the \newglossaryentry macro … For example, to define a computer entry:

    \newglossaryentry{computer} { name=computer, description={is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data, and provides output in a useful format}

    The above example defines an entry that has the same label and entry name.
