R bookdown：带有LaTeX命名法包的缩写列表

Question

Generating an index in R bookdown works perfectly well.

Adding a list of abbreviations with the nomenclature package is more difficult: I added to preamble.tex

\usepackage{nomenclature}
\makenomenclature

And then I include a file calling the \\printnomenclature macro via the after_body include option in the yaml header.

Actually, I already have a pretty good idea, what the problem is: Usually, one calls makeindex when generating the nomenclature list with LaTeX. This magically works for the index, but for the nomenclature package, there seems to be a need for some manual work.

Answer 1

Since RStudio does not know about special makeindex calls, you could install a tool like latexmk and configure RStudio to use that by putting Sys.setenv(RSTUDIO_PDFLATEX = "latexmk") somewhere in your main Rmd file, cf Is there a way to add chapter bibliographies using bookdown?
