Description

It would be nice, if one could use brackets (or other symbols) around the equation numbers (or other counters).

\newcommand*{\hyperbracket}[1]{(\glshypernumber{#1})} doesn't work, because it produces e.g. (2.4,2.5) and not (2.4),(2.5).

An option would be to introduce something along the lines of

\newcommand{\leftsideofnumber}{(}
\newcommand{\rightsideofnumber}{)}
\makeatletter
\def\@@delimN#1\delimN #2\delimN#3\\{%
\ifx\\#3\\%
\leftsideofnumber\@gls@numberlink{#1}\rightsideofnumber%
\else
\leftsideofnumber\@gls@numberlink{#1}\rightsideofnumber\delimN\leftsideofnumber\@gls@numberlink{#2}\rightsideofnumber%
\fi
}
\makeatother

It would be nice if this could be implemented as an option to the \printglossary command, e.g. as \printglossary[title=test,surroundnumbers={(}{)}], this way it would allow to have the equations in the list of symbols in brackets, while having the page numbers in the index without the brackets.

Evaluation

2013-11-12

This may be complicated to implement as xindy and makeindex don't write the numberlists in exactly the same format, but I'll leave this feature request open and see if I can find a way to implement it that will work with either indexing application.

Update 2020-02-29

This is now possible with bib2gls and glossaries-extra.sty's record=nameref option and commands in the form \glsxtrcounterlocfmt, such as \glsxtrequationlocfmt. I don't think it's possible to implement this more generally for other indexing options, but I'm going to close this feature request now that there is actually an option to do this.
