Bug Tracker

I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Description

Hi,
I came across the problem that changing acronym-entries didn't led to a change in my document. I found that this is related to this FAQ: I changed the definition of an entry, but it's still using the old definition actually, I define the glossary-entries in separate files and include them via

\AtBeginDocument{
	\input{Glossar/GlossarFiles}
}

because of problems with babel-shorthands (for example "= for a hyphen that allows other breaks) otherwise (see babel: adding language shorthands to work inside glossaries) so to use this babel-shorthands, i have to pull glossaries entries at least to the beginning of the document. making glossary entries compatible with babel in header would be a great solution, for example.

MWE

Download (480B)

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{Foo}{name={Foo},description={Long"=Foo}}
\AtBeginDocument{
	\newglossaryentry{Bar}{name={Bar},description={Long"=Bar}}
}



\begin{document}

This works:

\gls{Foo}


changes in gls"=definition of "`Bar"' after a run that created .glsdefs won't have any effect. But the babel-break works:

\gls{Bar}


\printglossaries


\end{document}

Evaluation

If you move the \AtBeginDocument before you load glossaries, you won't get a .glsdefs file as then the entries will be defined before the definition of \newglossaryentry is changed.

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\AtBeginDocument{
        \newglossaryentry{Bar}{name={Bar},description={Long"=Bar}}
}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{Foo}{name={Foo},description={Long"=Foo}}

\begin{document}

Wow, that's great, thank you! (Didn't expect this order to be working...)
