Page Layout ⇒ Header Title in my Acronyms is wrong.

[ougka]

Hello all,

I am using the glossaries package for my list of Acronyms. I have renamed the Title of Glossary to appear as List of Acronyms in my Contents and also in the actual page where the acronyms appear. However, at the header of the List of Acronyms section, it still reads "Glossary".

How can I change the header from "Glossary" to "List of Acronyms"?

Thanks a lot!

Hi ougka,

you could use \markboth right before the glossary, such as

Code: Select all

\clearpage
\markboth{List of Acronyms}{List of Acronyms}
\printglossaries

Hello Stefan,

thanks a lot for your reply... I am afraid this doesn't work... It builds fine but it seems that \markboth doesn't overwrite the "Glossary" heading to "List of Acronyms"

I'd be grateful if you could have any other ideas..?

Hi ougka,

perhaps show with some code how you are doing it. If there's something wrong, we might see it.

Hello Stefan,

Sure, so here is my main file :

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,12pt]{book} %twoside,draft,openright]

\usepackage{a4}
\usepackage{anysize}
%{left}{right}{top}{bottom}
\marginsize{38mm}{25mm}{25mm}{25mm


\input{thesis_format}

%%%%%%%% GLOSSARY %%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage[style=super,nonumberlist]{glossaries}
%Remove the dot at the end of glossary descriptions
\renewcommand*{\glspostdescription}{}

%Make the description column of the glossary a bit wider
%default is 0.6\linewidth
\setlength{\glsdescwidth}{0.8\linewidth}

%Make the acronym bold in the TOC
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textbf{#1}}

\makeglossaries
\include{Chapter0-Peripherals/glossaries}


\begin{document}

%% Front pages of the thesis
\input{Chapter0-Peripherals/00_Title_Page}
%this is where i declare about glossaries (snippet below)
\input{Chapter0-Peripherals/05_TOC_LoF_LoT_Glossary}

%% Main text
\include{Chapter1-Intro/Chapter1}
(snip)
\include{Chapter8-Conclusion/Chapter8}

\include{Chapter0-Peripherals/10_References}
\end{document}

and in my 05_TOC_LoF_LoT_Glossary file i have

Code: Select all

%Add your glossary in the TOC with a different name
\newpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{}List of Acronyms}

%use List of Acronyms instead of Glossary as a title on the actual page of the Acronyms
\renewcommand{\glossaryname}{List of Acronyms}
\clearpage
%set the heading of the List of Acronyms to "List of Acronyms" instead of Glossary
\markboth{List of Acronyms}{List of Acronyms}
\printglossaries

but it doesn't seem to work... any ideas?

Try

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\glossarytoctitle}{List of Acronyms}

Try

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\glossarytoctitle}{List of Acronyms}

Hi Nicola thanks a lot for your reply.

I get a

!LaTeX Error : \glossarytoctitel undefined

when i try your suggestion.. any other ideas?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi,

Try

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\glossarytoctitle}{List of Acronyms}

I get a

Code: Select all

!LaTeX Error : \glossarytoctitel undefined

when i try your suggestion.. any other ideas?

check the spelling, it's \glossarytoctitle.

ha.. I wish it was that Stephan. I wrote it correctly in my tex file, it's just that I didn't copy/paste the error from latex, hence my typo...

where can I find all these \glossary-whatever commands so that I can try and find something that would do the job?

Hi, I'm having a similar problem.

I'm trying to include a list of acronyms under the title abbreviations and a main glossary. If I include:

Code: Select all

\printglossary[type=main,title=Glossary]
\printglossary[type=acronym,title=Abbreviations]

Then they appear in the correct order but the chapter title before the main glossary is 'Abbreviations' and the title space before the abbreviations is blank. The header displays the correct label, however.

Previously I had the two the other way around and the problem was reversed.

There is also a regular error on undefined control sequence for \glossarytitle. I tried defining it with

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\glossarytitle}[1]{\chapter[#1]}

as I wanted to print a chapter heading page anyway but that now gives "! Argument of \glossarytitle has an extra }." followde by a runaway argument and has to be ignored anyway. I have looked at the .sty file but I'm new to LaTeX and unwilling to mess around in there without instruction.

Any help would be much appreciated.
