[Tex/LaTex] How to create nomenclature using TeXnicCenter

nomenclaturetexniccenter

I have trouble executing the nomenclature. I saw many posts in the internet like Using package nomencl and List of symbols or abbreviations (nomenclature) but I am unable to do it.

I would like to create a list of symbols to my report that I am writing. I am using Windows 7 and TeXnicCenter. I do not know what these sequences mean?

latex filename.tex
makeindex filename.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o filename.nls
latex filename.tex

Any help please? What should I do?

In TeXnicCenter you can add a new profile for compiling with a nomenclature.

Press alt+F7 to open the dialog windows for the profiles. Choose your standard profile, copy it with the button copy and give it a new name, like "LaTeX-PDF-nomencl".

Now check that you have clicked on register "(La)TeX". In the last line you can add your arguments to be given to makeindex: your arguments (see your command above) "filename.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o filename.nls" translate to ""%tm.nlo" -g –s nomencl.ist -o “%tm.nls" then TeXnicCenter can work with it.

I have only a german version of TeXnicCenter here but I guess a screenshot will help you.

Don't forget to check the log file for errors or warnings for your nomenclature.

A little bit late this answer, but I hope it can help you.
