<div dir="ltr">Hi Boris,<div><br></div><div>The multiple entering of the definition for the same symbol does</div><div>have many uses.

KB> Boris, Paulo's original msg is here:<br>

<br>
Here is the situation. In the original design for nomencl the idea<br>
was that you enter the nomenclature for the given symbol only once,<br>
after the equation where the symbol is defined.<br>
<br>
I did not envisage the use case where you put nomenclature several<br>
times. Here you basically use nomenclature as an index (something<br>
like "c, the speed of light, see equations (3), (4), (8--124)").<br>
<br>
Is this a common use case? If yes, I need to rewrite some commands...<br>
<br>

Good luck<br>
