General ⇒ Glossary

[Bar]

Hi,

I use glossaries package to display glossary. Its work fine. But I want a rather different display to the default display. I want to add ":" or "-" after glossary entry but not in the main document.
For example.

CCTV Closed-circuit television

I want to display it as:

CCTV: Closed-circuit television or CCTV- Closed-circuit television

But in the main text file CCTV should not appear with-colon (CCTV:)

How can I do it?

If I do the following then the colon also appears in the main document file.
\newglossaryentry{CCTV}{name=CCTV:, description={Closed-circuit television}}

Regards,

Hi,

add this to the preamble of your document:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{#1:}

Thanx for this.

If that solves the problem, then please mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting).


Best regards and welcome to the board
