General ⇒ Adding a List of Acronyms with 'acro' package to the Table of Contents

[asmithb]

Dear members,

I want to insert my lit of acronyms in the table of contents of my thesis. I need to add a list of acronyms right after my list of figures and tables in the table of contents. I do not want the list of acronyms as a separate section or chapter. Instead, I want the list to tell me what each acronym stands for. I am almost there. I have used the acro package and added the following codes to the table of contents.

However, the list of acronyms is printed as a chapter and not in the same format as my list of figures and tables (which is what I want). So how could I fix it? I want the code above to look exactly as the formats of \makelistoffigures and \makelistoftables, with roman numbers instead of Arabic ones.

Thank you

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report}

\usepackage{acro}

\input acro ('acro.tex' is the file where I have my list of acronyms)

\usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}



\newpage\tableofcontents
\newpage\makelistoftables
\newpage\makelistoffigures


\newpage

\begin{document}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Acronyms}
\printacronyms[include-classes=A,name=List of Acronyms, template=lof,display=all,sort=true]

%Start numbering in Arabic
\pagenumbering{arabic}

$$From this part on, I add the chapters of my thesis and its references.

\doublespacing
\input chap1
\input chap2
\input chap3
\input chap4
\input chap5

\end{document}

Your crosspost is not a problem as long as you provide a link to it.

A minimal working example should increase the chance of getting help considerably.

The code cannot be compiled as we don't have any of the files you're inputting.

Also you can't have \newpage and \tableofcontents and so on before \begin{document}.

The biggest problem with the code above: \makelistoftables and \makelistoffigures are undefined... they are not standard LaTeX commands so at best we can guess what they're supposed to do...
