Fiddling around with thesis paper, for those who want to create a "glossary" in LyX. Played around for a bit trying to figure out how to do it - found out how, so throwing this up as reference.
In my thesis, I have a list of terms that appear occasionally and want an easy find glossary or index for people to check these terms if they are unsure.
| GIS | Geographical Information Systems |
| S3D | Stereoscopic 3D |
| VE | Virtual Environments |
| Virtual GIS | Virtual Geographical Information System |
| VR | Virtual Reality |
| VRGIS | Virtual Reality Geographical Information System |
| GIERS | GIS-based Intelligent Emergency Response System |
So those are the terms above from MS Word. Now to throw them into LyX.
What we want to create is what is known as Nomenclature. (For our Glossary)
First, go to Insert > List > Nomenclature
You should see a Nomenclature label inserted into your document now.
Now we want to add entries to the list. To do this, go to Insert > Nomenclature Entry. It'll populate the document with tagged labels as "Nom:xyz"
Generate your document, and done! What you see is what you get. Your labels are generated in a nice and pretty nomenclature table for all your glossary goodness.
Hope that helps.
