My MWE is,

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries} 
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
    name=latex,
    description={Is a markup language specially suited for scientific documents}
}
\begin{document}
should show below, but doesnt. 
\printglossaries
\end{document}

produces the following PDF document with the text ('should show below, but doesnt. ') but no glossary. The glossary package has been installed/reinstalled. I am using WinEdt11 and PDFTeXify.

    You need to add \gls{latex} somewhere in your body text. The glossary will only be printed if there is at least one reference to a glossary entry in the document. – Jasper Habicht Jul 29 '22 at 11:16

Surprisingly, it is still not working when I cite the glossary entry in the text body:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries} 
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
    name=latex,
    description={Is a markup language especially suited for scientific documents}
}
\begin{document}
\printglossaries
 You should cite the glossary entry: \gls{latex} % Reference the glossary entry
\end{document}

enter image description here

However, when I add the glossaries-extra with the automake option, you get what you are looking for:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries} 
\usepackage[nonumberlist,automake]{glossaries-extra} % nonumberlist avoids numbering the lsit

\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
    name=latex,
    description={Is a markup language especially suited for scientific documents}
}
\begin{document}
You should cite the glossary entry: \gls{latex} % Reference the glossary entry


\printglossaries
\end{document}

enter image description here

A little bit more customizable working example is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[nogroupskip,nonumberlist,symbols]{glossaries}
\usepackage[automake]{glossaries-extra}

\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
    name=latex,
    description={Is a markup language especially suited for scientific documents}
}
\begin{document}
You should cite the glossary entry: \gls{latex} % Reference the glossary entry


\printglossary[style=long,nonumberlist,title={List of abbreviations and acronyms\vspace{-0.3cm}}]
\pagebreak
\end{document}

    You don't need glossaries-extra. Package glossaries also provides option automake. However, you even do not need option automake, if you follow the glossaries manual and run makeglossaries (or makeindex with the documented parameters). – cabohah Jul 10 '23 at 09:40
