General ⇒ acronym | No Capitalization in the Text

[dochar]

I am using the acronym package to handle the acronyms used in my thesis.

The problem is that the long form used in the list of acronyms is the same as the long form used in the text. In the list, it is fine to capitalize the first letter of words, but in the text, I want the long form to be set in small letters.

I tried using

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\acffont}[1]{\MakeTextLowercase{#1}}

but I keep getting infamous error message

Code: Select all

! Missing \endcsname inserted.

Note that if I replace \MakeTextLowercase with, for example, \textsc everything would be fine.

I think the command you want is \MakeLowercase, not \MakeTextLowercase.
