\chapter{Introduction}
\pagenumbering{arabic}

This document has a glossary in a footnote\footnote{\printglossaries}.

A \gls{glossarylist} (definition~\glsrefentry{glossarylist}) is a
very useful addition to any technical document, although a
\gls{glossarycol} (definition~\glsrefentry{glossarycol}) can also
simply be a collection of glosses, which is another thing entirely.
Some documents have multiple \glspl{glossarylist}.

Once you have run your document through \LaTeX, you
will then need to run the \texttt{.glo} file through
\texttt{makeindex}.  You will need to set the output
file so that it creates a \texttt{.gls} file instead
of an \texttt{.ind} file, and change the name of 
the log file so that it doesn't overwrite the index
log file (if you have an index for your document).  
Rather than having to remember all the command line
switches, you can call the \gls{Perl} script
\texttt{makeglossaries} which provides a convenient
wrapper.

If a comma appears within the name or description, grouping
must be used, e.g.\ in the description of \gls{pagelist}.

\chapter{Plurals and Paragraphs}

Plurals are assumed to have the letter s appended, but if this is
not the case, as in \glspl{mtrx}, then you need to specify the
plural when you define the entry. If a term may have multiple
plurals (for example \glspl{cow}/\glsuseri{cow}) then 
define the entry with the plural form most likely to be used.
The alternative can simply be referenced with  \verb|\glslink|
(e.g.\ \glslink{cow}{kine})
or \verb|\glsdisp| (e.g.\ \glsdisp{cow}{kine}).
Another option is to save the alternative plural in another key. In
this case, the ``user1'' key has been used, but a custom key can be
defined instead.


\Glspl{seal} and \glspl{sealion} have regular plural forms.

\Gls{bravo} is a homograph, but the plural forms are spelt
differently. The plural of \gls{bravo1}, a cry of approval
(definition~\glsrefentry{bravo1}), is \glspl{bravo1}, whereas the
plural of \gls{bravo2}, a hired ruffian or killer
(definition~\glsrefentry{bravo2}), is \glspl{bravo2}.

\Glspl{par} can cause a problem in commands, so care is needed
when having a paragraph break in a \gls{glossarylist} entry.

\chapter{Ordering}

There are two types of ordering: word ordering (which places
``\gls{sealion}'' before ``\gls{seal}'') and letter ordering
(which places ``\gls{seal}'' before ``\gls{sealion}'').
