I am writing my PhD thesis, and I have multiple chapters where I compile a list of tables, figures and references. However, I struggle to put my "List of Symbols", as I need to call them from multiple chapters. Their order is not very important at the moment, so a general list should be fine (i.e. I don't need to group symbols chapter by chapter).
When I use the following commands in one of the chapters (for example), nothing happens. \nomenclature{$m$}{The mass (kg)} \printnomenclature
If you have a template or know how to make this work, it would be highly appreciated.
My code structure is as the following:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{report}
\usepackage[left=3cm,right=2.5cm,top=2cm,bottom=2.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{multirow}
\include{thesis.preamble} % where all packages are embedded.
\usepackage{nomencl}
\makenomenclature
