General ⇒ Glossary in two columns

[BenniW]

Hi,
I've already generated a glossary (with the package "glossar.sty" - I do know that it is a little old...), however, now I don't only want only one column, but two...

Can somebody help me out with this - how to get a glossary in two columns? In case of need, I would probably use another package, whereas I prefer my actual one...

Thank you beforehand,
Benni

Did you read the manual carefully? In section 6 (Package options, p. 8ff) there is mentioned a parameter cols, which stands for columns. Further options for style settings are given in section 7 (Defining new glossary styles, p. 11ff) and section 9 (Customizing the glossary, p. 17ff). If you don't have success, take a look at alternatives like glossaries, makeglos or gloss.

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately it doesn't help me much!
The parameter "cols" isn't that, what I'm looking for, as I want that the whole glossary is in two columns!

e.g.:

Code: Select all

a - first letter                             A - first capital letter
ABC - alphabet                               Alphabet - ABC

Best would it be to have a line between these two columns...

Thanks,
Benni

You can try using the package "cuted" and the command "\twocolumn". (See the file presfull.pdf for documentation.)

I am working on setting up some stuff in two columns myself and experimenting with cuted. It's not very pretty, and the documentation is not very good, but it may be of use to you.

Thanks for your hint! I will try it out some time later!
