Text Formatting ⇒ Abbreviations in nomencl

[rajini]

Hello all,

I like to understand some details on nomencl package, which i am using for 'list of abbreviation'. For some reason, i prefer to insert my

Code: Select all

\nomenclature[ga ]{ABB}{description}

in the middle of each paragraphs. So i like to group all symbols/abbreviation for each paragraph and not immediately after the symbols or equations.
Suppose a paragraph contains 4 symbols, and i insert one below other using the command given above. My confusion is which of those 4 lines should end with '%' sign?
Otherwise how to understand the following lines, taken from 'nomencl' package's manual (page 3 of package version v4.2 of 2005/09/22):

'Note the necessary quoting of newlines. When the \nomenclature
macros appear directly after the equation environment, quote all newlines;
when they appear in the middle of a sentence, quote all but the last
newlines.'

Is that mean that one have to insert '%' sign for all '\nomenclature[]...' except the last.
or
insert '%' sign for all '\nomenclature[]...' except the first.
thanks for your help
rajini.

Hi,

the rule is simple: use "%" wherever it will prevent a blank space or a change of line from appearing before a \nomenclature command. The example code at page 4 of the package documentation illustrates this.

Oh,
I did not look that example!

thanks
