As before, no new file other than the .nlo, but no error on executing. </div><div><br></div><div>I haven’t tried the terminal, but I wonder whether that is the most efficient way to uncover the problem. I had a quick look over the .log file for anything that would catch my eye, and did see "No file Try-nomencl.nls,” which didn’t surprise me, but I don’t know why this file failed to be produced. Maybe I should also say that I never did anything actively to set up pdflatexmk. Were it not for Overleaf, I would keep thinking that I have a syntax error vis-a-vis the nomenclature package.</div><div><br></div><div><div>

This engine uses the latexmk script to completely typeset the document using pdflatex and is set up to take care of the proper use makeindex for the nomenclature package.<br><br>Good Luck,<br><br>Herb Schulz<br>herbs2@mac.com<br><br><br>----------- Please Consult the Following Before Posting -----------<br>TeX FAQ: https://www.tug.org/mactex/faq/index.html<br>List Reminders and Etiquette: https://sites.esm.psu.edu/~gray/TeX/<br>List Archives: http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.macosx<br> https://email.esm.psu.edu/pipermail/macosx-tex/<br>TeX on Mac OS X Website: https://www.tug.org/mactex/index.html<br>List Info: https://email.esm.psu.edu/mailman/listinfo/macosx-tex<br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
