Index of descriptions

2010-01-25 Thread Manolo Martí­nez 

Dear list,

I was wondering if any of you has had to do this before, and has maybe 
programmed a script or something to automate it: I need to look for all 
descriptions in a file and insert an index entry with the described item 
as text.


Thanks,
Manolo

Sounds to me like you want what nomenclature/glossary does.

But that does not save me from going description by description adding 
the glossary entry manually, does it?

You could redefine the description environment in such a way that it 
handled this for you, I think.
