Creation of a List of Symbols for Technical Essays
The document that I want to prepare is technical and the following feature,
if implemented would help to make it more consistent. The feature which characterise most technical essay is a list of the symbols used, mainly letters with subscripts or greek letters, which have a specific meaning and are therefore collected in a list where their meaning is explained in full. In Word this kind of list is not implemented, I was wondering if such a list can be implemented with this particular options: Once the symbol is entered, it can be selected and it enters a list, its format is preserved and a reference is created. The symbol can be therefore put again in the text, in case it recurs, by adding a "ref field", this way in case the symbol needs to be changed to match better the meaning or to avoid misunderstanding, it can be done from the list, without checking all single events of the symbol. The list has also the possibility to include a paragraph for the description of the symbol. example: Current Chance rate Euro-Dollar Bookmark: EUUS Showed text: The Euro-Dollar is currently fluctuating, people relate this fact to weather condition on Mars. While the Euro-Dollar does not have effect on the Mars society, we can still understand how its colonization would have an impact on a higher fluctuation of the Euro-Dollar. text with fields: The { REF EUUS } is currently fluctuating, people relate this fact to weather condition on Mars. While the { REF EUUS } does not have effect on the Mars society, we can still understand how its colonization would have an impact on a higher fluctuation of the { REF EUUS }. Hope this is clear. p.s. This question comes from the fact that other tools, which I cannot use for the purpose of writing this technical essay, namely TeX, allow this feature |
