Latex macros for notation

Are you tired of chasing mathematical notation and abbreviations in published papers?

Are you tired of conflicting or inconsistent notation?

This package addresses these problems via:

Automatic creation of hyperlink for each managed mathematical symbol to its first occurrence in the document.
Generation of lists of symbols.
Macros to do this with minimal effort for the author.

Usage

Copy the file notation.sty in you latex directory, e.g. quickly but insecurely using wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexandrebouchard/notation/master/notation.sty --no-check-certificate.
See example.tex for instructions and an example.
If you do not need a list of symbols, that's it, use your normal latex compilation pipeline. Otherwise, to ge the list of symbols, use:

pdflatex example.tex 
makeindex example.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o example.nls
pdflatex example.pdf

To save time, you can put the script makenotation.sh in your path and just type:

makenotation example

To disable the links generated by this package, define the following command before importing the notation.sty package:

\newcommand{\disablenotationlinks}{}

Does not seem to link into align environments, use equation, \[ ... \], or eqnarray.
Does not link into a figure caption (but link from a caption is OK).
If the package hyperref is already loaded with different options, you will get an error message saying you cannot load the package twice with different arguments.

Workaround for the hyperref issue: instead of e.g.

\usepackage[colorlinks,citecolor=blue,urlcolor=blue,filecolor=blue,backref=page]{hyperref}

use:

\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,citecolor=blue,urlcolor=blue,filecolor=blue,backref=page}
