Here is my problem with this. \nomenclature is not just a pointer to<br>
the equation. It is also a definition of a symbol. If you have two<br>
commands for the same symbol, should the definion be the same? What<br>
if you changed one without changing another?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If you change one without the other, you should end up with two</div><div>different ones. </div><div><br></div><div>The same symbol can be used for different things with the same </div><div>name, one example is </div><div><br></div><div> |g| </div><div><br></div><div>which stands for the "order of g", in a group, in a ring, in a field....</div><div>Most of the time, you want to be short and say just that and let </div><div>the context define everything else.

Maybe you need another interface where you want to (1) define a<br>
symbol, and (2) collect the important equations where it is used? I<br>
think these tasks require different commands, do not they?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That would be nice and will cover more cases, but not necessary. </div><div><br></div><div>Paulo Ney</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
