I am trying to create kind of a lexicon in LaTeX for listing popular scientists and their inventions, for example. So, I wanted to ask, which way is the best to achieve something like this in LaTeX. It would be cool, if the output of the dictionary is alphabetically sorted. My first thought was using the glossaries package but I wonder if there is a better way for achieving this. ~JackboyPlay

    Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Sep 15 '21 at 10:05
  • There is https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/149754/is-there-an-environment-document-class-for-dictionaries referring to the dici package - that doesn't sort automatically and it seems unmaintained, but maybe it can be useful. – Marijn Sep 15 '21 at 13:04
  • And another suggestion in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5821/creating-a-standalone-glossary using the glossaries package. – Marijn Sep 15 '21 at 13:06
  • Maybe a description list, or the nomencl package, or just the \paragraph or some custom macro, maybe a bib file .. but the scientists should be referenced-linked elsewhere? Maybe the list should be re-ordered in some way? or do you want just a list? It's hard to say what you need without knowing what you want to do. – Fran Sep 16 '21 at 09:20
