% This is a minimal file for testing and debugging 
% the glossaries package. Change the class file as 
% desired, and add the relevant package options to
% both the class file and the glossaries package.
% Change the sample glossary entry and acronym if
% required. If the problem occurs with an additional
% glossary, add in the relevant \newglossary command
% and a sample entry.
%
% Only add extra packages or commands if they 
% contribute to whatever problem you are trying to
% test.
%
% Remember that the document will not be complete
% until you have successfully completed all of the
% following steps:
% 1. latex minimalgls
% 2. makeglossaries minimalgls (note no extension)
% 3. latex minimalgls
%
% Alternatively:
% 1. latex minimalgls
% 2. makeglossaries-lite minimalgls (note no extension)
% 3. latex minimalgls
%
% A further run through LaTeX will be required to ensure that
% the table of contents is up to date if the toc option
% is used.
% Alternatively, if you use arara, you can add the following
% directives in your document:
%
% arara: pdflatex: { synctex: on }
% arara: makeglossaries
% arara: pdflatex: { synctex: on }
%
% (Alternatively replace "makeglossaries" with "makeglossaries-lite")

% If you require multilingual support you must also install
% the appropriate glossaries language module. The language
% modules are distributed separately.
