I used \makeglossaries
in the preamble. Defined my terms, and issued \printglossaries
. I've been reading the manual but can't see what I'm missing:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\begin{document}
\newglossaryentry{flux}{name=Flux,
description={(1) The rate of flow of metabolites through a metabolic pathway. (2) The rate of transport per unit of area.}}
\glsaddall
\printglossaries
\end{document}
Edit: it is true I don't actually use the glossary terms in the text body - this is purely a stand-alone glossary.
