### nomencl with multicol

Hi there!

I would like to make a Nomenclature Index in two colums

My approach was the following:
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{nomencl}\makenomenclature\usepackage{multicol}  \begin{document}\section*{Main equations}\begin{equation}a=\frac{N}{A}\end{equation}%\nomenclature{$a$}{The number of angels per unit area}%\nomenclature{$N$}{The number of angels per needle point}%\nomenclature{$A$}{The area of the needle point}%The equation $\sigma = m a$%\nomenclature{$\sigma$}{The total mass of angels per unit area}%\nomenclature{$m$}{The mass of one angel}follows easily. \begin{multicols}{2}\printnomenclature\end{multicols} \end{document}

as a result i get this:
testu.png (15.5 KiB) Viewed 2819 times

the "sigma" and "a" should be at the same heigth. I have no idea, how to fix this.

I would appreciate any help very much!

Hi burgstaa,

use these definitions in your document preamble:

Later it's sufficient to write just
\printnomenclature
