Hi!

I tried to post this earlier but nobody replied to the post, so here's my second attempt.

I'm having a problem with the acronym package.
I want to create an acronym of the term "Command & Control"
but the character "&" is giving me an error when im building the document.

I have tried:

\ac{C&C}
\ac{C\&C}
and
\acro{C&C}{Command & Control}
\acro{C\&C}{Command \& Control}

but this is not working.
Can somebody please assist me? I'm new to Latex.

Hi,

the character & is invalid in acronym names. Try:

Code: Select all

\acro{C+C}[C\&C]{Command \& Control}
\ac{C+C}
