Double and single spacing in a list of acronyms

Post by mcclur51 »

I am preparing a list of acronyms to go with my document. The document is doublespaced. I would like the doublespacing to continue into the glossary/list of acronyms, but only between entries. ie. I want single spacing within entries but double between entries. Here is a MWE:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass[11pt]{article} % use larger type; default would be 10pt
\renewcommand*{\baselinestretch}{2}
\usepackage[acronym,nonumberlist]{glossaries}
\makeglossary
\newacronym{IkB}{I$\kappa$B}{nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor}
\newacronym{IKK}{IKK}{\protect\gls{IkB} kinase}
\newacronym{MyD88}{MyD88}{TIR domain-containing adaptor, myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88}
\newacronym{MZ}{MZ}{marginal zone}
\title{Brief Article}
\author{The Author}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{First section}
Interesting text \gls{IkB}. More interesting thoughts \gls{MyD88}. Followed by the \gls{MZ}. Final thoughts on the matter \gls{IKK}.
\newpage
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,title={LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS},toctitle={LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS},style=indexgroup]
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\MakeUppercase{List of Abbreviations}}%
\end{document}

Read the l2tabu document to learn why you should not set double space this way. Use the structures provided by the setspace package.
