[texhax] glossaries - glsentryname and math

[Vangelis Katsikaros]

Hi,

I have texlive on ubuntu [1] and I have a problem with the glossaries 
package.

I define an entry that has some math in its name, then if use \gls{foo} 
everything is fine. However, if I use \glsentryname{goo}, then the 
$math$ part is not rendered as math but as regular text (including the 
dollar signs).

Is this normal and how can I avoid it?

% Minimal working example:
% $ pdflatex example.tex
%
% example.log (http://pastebin.com/3Q4nUaxr)
% example.tex:
%==================================================
documentclass{book}

\usepackage{glossaries}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}

\newglossaryentry{lala}{
% the $$ part doesn't render if called with glsentryname
         name={$X^{y}$-tree},
         description={The famous Xy-tree}
}

\begin{document}

In general, math works fine $N_{x}^{y} \leftarrow \rightarrow X$

\section{Math doesn't work for glsentryname \glsentryname{lala}}
But in text or headings glsentryname doesn't render math.

gls: \gls{lala}.

glsentryname: \glsentryname{lala}

\end{document}
