Glossary WITHOUT location numbers

Question

I'm using Glossary package and its printing the glossary list with a number at the end of each item (I'm assuming its chapter number).

Is there a way NOT to print this number?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

That's the location or number list. It can be suppressed with the package option nonumberlist (assuming you actually meant the glossaries package, not the obsolete glossary package).

MWE (demonstrating the default behaviour):

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{sample}{name={sample},description={an example}}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Sample}

\gls{sample} %page 1

\chapter{Another Sample}

\gls{sample}% page 2

\printglossaries

\end{document}

Without number list:

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage[nonumberlist]{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{sample}{name={sample},description={an example}}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Sample}

\gls{sample} %page 1

\chapter{Another Sample}

\gls{sample}% page 2

\printglossaries

\end{document}

Alternatively:

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{sample}{name={sample},description={an example}}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Sample}

\gls{sample} %page 1

\chapter{Another Sample}

\gls{sample}% page 2

\printglossary[nonumberlist]

\end{document}
