LaTeX forum ⇒ Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Glossaries: abbreviation names in bold

[Matam]

One more help. Please, observe contents in the List of Abbreviations.
Abbreviation is normal font. But, the first letter of each word is in Bold. So, I want the abbreviations in bold.

Example: the first line is in my PDF is
BOP Best Output Power

But, I want
BOP (some gap here) Best Output Power

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Try this:

\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textbf{#1}}

I added the code. But, it did not work. The issue remained same.

THe code is:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.txt)

% List of Abbreviations 
\cleardoublepage
\renewcommand{\glossarysection}[2][]{\chapter*{#1}}
\markboth{List of Abbrevations}{List of Abbrevations}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Abbrevations}
\printglossary[title=List of Abbreviations,type=\acronymtype]
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\makefirstuc{#1}}
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textbf{#1}}

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Put \renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textbf{#1}} before \printglossary, not afterwards.

I tried this way also. It did not work.

Code is given below and screen shot is attached.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.txt)

% List of Abbreviations 
\cleardoublepage
\renewcommand{\glossarysection}[2][]{\chapter*{#1}}
\markboth{List of Abbrevations}{List of Abbrevations}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Abbrevations}
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textbf{#1}}
\printglossary[title=List of Abbreviations,type=\acronymtype]
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\makefirstuc{#1}}

[Stefan Kottwitz]

It works for me. Check this complete example:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex})

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\newglossaryentry{test}{name=test, description={This is a test}}
\makeglossaries
\begin{document}
This is a \gls{test}.
\renewcommand{\glossarysection}[2][]{\chapter*{#1}}
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\makefirstuc{\textbf{#1}}}
\printglossary[title=List of Abbreviations,type=\acronymtype]
\end{document}

Check your settings what is different. I see your names are written in italic shape (and uppercase) - where do you set this?

I have reinstalled my Textstudio and then executed the same code. It worked.
Please, find the attached screen shot. However, I need one more help: I want all the full abbreviations come in line. Example,


The code for List of Abbreviations is given below:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.txt)

 
% List of Abbreviations 
\cleardoublepage
\renewcommand{\glossarysection}[2][]{\chapter*{#1}}
\markboth{List of Abbrevations}{List of Abbrevations}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Abbrevations}
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textbf{#1}}
\printglossary[title=List of Abbreviations,type=\acronymtype]
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\makefirstuc{#1}}
 
 
\clearpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
 
\chapter{Introduction to solar PV systems and Dynamic PV arrays}
\section{Introduction}

You could choose some of the tabular styles (longtable), see the glossaries manual, 15.1 Predefined Styles.

[Matam]

Thanks for the quick response about the new reference. I have checked the 15.1. They have not given how to use the code or Examples. I am bit poor in understanding those terminology. Could you help me with some code that would be fine. Please,

The glossary style can be set globally using the style package option. For example:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex})

\usepackage[style=long]{glossaries}

or you can set it locally within the optional argument of \printglossary. For example:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex})

\printglossary[title=List of Abbreviations,type=\acronymtype,style=long]

There's a complete list of all predefined styles, with samples of their appearance, at https://www.dickimaw-books.com/gallery/glossaries-styles/
