Acroterm LaTeX package
======================

This package is intended to support the use of acronyms and terms
to explain in LaTeX documents. See acroterm.pdf for details.

Synopsis
--------

Essentially, this package provides four new commands, to be used as:

\term{Potrzebie}

\acro{SNAFU}

\tacro{situation normal: all fucked up}{SNAFU}

\aterm{SNAFU}{situation normal: all fucked up}

Two of them support an optional parameter for indexing:

\term[Potrzebie System of Weights and Measures]{Potrzebie System}

\tacro[Gang of Four (Patterns)]{Gang of Four}{GoF}

For each command there is a strong variant that starts with an uppercase:

\Term{Potrzebie}

\Acro{SNAFU}

\Tacro{situation normal: all fucked up}{SNAFU}

\Aterm{SNAFU}{situation normal: all fucked up}

Installation
------------

To use this package in documents located in any directory, you have to move
the file `acroterm.sty` into a directory searched by LaTeX. Usual locations
are `/usr/share/texmf` and `/usr/local/share/texmf`, or `~/texmf`. Afterwards
you should run `texthash'.

To newly create the file `acroterm.sty`, call at the command line:

$ make
