title: Can Greek letters be added to Sphinx documents as glossary terms?
body: <p>I want to add variables that are defined as Greek letters to my glossary in a sphinx document. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.. glossary::
  
      :math:`{\alpha}`
          Definition for alpha
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The goal is to have these variables appear in the document's index. Anyone have experience with this?</p>
