[texhax] Strange ordering problem with glossary macro

[Geoff Russell]

Hi All,

The following latex/tex code works fine, however swapping lines A, and B,
makes it fail.

The \myglossabbr{TL}{TeX Live 2005{TL} defines a macro \TL/ which produces
"Tex Live 2005 (TL)" on the first use and TL on subsequent uses and
accumulates items
in a glossary list:   TL --- TeX Live 2005. etc.  Without the \cite{}
in the second
argument, everything is fine, however the \cite{} produces problems. I
figure I've
broken some latex law somewhere, any ideas?

Cheers,
Geoff Russell


P.S. I'm using TeXLive 2005,
pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
