I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Summary	Specifying glossary preambles and postambles in an alternative way

Description

Hi,

In documents with several glossaries, it would be perhaps more convenient to specify glossary preambles and postambles on a per-glossary basis (e.g. using commands \setglossarypreamble and \setglossarypostamble) instead of repeatedly redefining \glossarypreamble and \glossarypostamble.

Here's my proposal for \setglossarypreamble:

\makeatletter

%% \setglossarypreamble[<type>]{<text>}
\newcommand{\setglossarypreamble}[2][\glsdefaulttype]{%
  \ifglossaryexists{#1}{%
    \csgdef{@glossarypreamble@#1}{#2}%
  }{%
    \PackageWarning{glossaries}{%
      Glossary `#1' is not defined%
    }%
  }%
}

\renewcommand*{\glossarypreamble}{%
  \csuse{@glossarypreamble@\currentglossary}%
}

\makeatother

So what do you think about this?

Best regards,
Michael Pock
