如何为多个词汇表条目设置相同的类型？

Question

我使用的glossaries软件包有两个词汇表，一个用于一般定义，一个用于数学符号。似乎对于符号词汇表的每个条目，我都必须单独输入type=notation选项。而不是

\newglossaryentry{letter:A}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{A}}},
    description={This is the letter A.},
}
\newglossaryentry{letter:B}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}},
    description={This is the letter A.},
}
\newglossaryentry{letter:C}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{C}}},
    description={This is the letter C.},
}
...

我更希望有一个更紧凑的解决方案，例如\setglossarytype{notation}这样我就可以写

\setglossarytype{notation}
\newglossaryentry{letter:A}{
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{A}}},
    description={This is the letter A.},
}
\newglossaryentry{letter:B}{
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}},
    description={This is the letter A.},
}
\newglossaryentry{letter:C}{
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{C}}},
    description={This is the letter C.},
}
...

相反。这能做到吗？

如果需要，请提供完整的 MWE：

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\newglossary[nlg]{notation}{not}{ntn}{Notation}

\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{letter:A}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{A}}},
    description={This is the letter A.},
}
\newglossaryentry{letter:B}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}},
    description={This is the letter A.},
}
\newglossaryentry{letter:C}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{C}}},
    description={This is the letter C.},
}

\begin{document}
\gls{letter:A} comes before \gls{letter:B}, and then \gls{letter:C} at the end.
\printglossary[type=notation]
\end{document}

Answer 1

您可以按照自己喜欢的方式引入 \newcommand，例如：

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\newglossary[nlg]{notation}{not}{ntn}{Notation}

\newcommand\nge[1]{ % <<< -----------------
  \newglossaryentry{letter:#1}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{#1}}},
    description={This is the letter #1.},
  }
}

\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{letter:A}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{A}}},
    description={This is the letter A.},
}
\newglossaryentry{letter:B}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}},
    description={This is the letter A.},
}
\newglossaryentry{letter:C}{
    type=notation,
    name={\ensuremath{\mathcal{C}}},
    description={This is the letter C.},
}
\nge{D} % <<< -----------------

\nge{E} % <<< -----------------

\begin{document}
\gls{letter:A} comes before \gls{letter:B}, and then \gls{letter:C} at the end.


What's about \gls{letter:E} and \gls{letter:D}?

\printglossary[type=notation]
\end{document}
