acronym | Omit the (long) Printout of the Acronym

Post by Montag »

SOLVED

Hello,

for a specific document (which is not similar to a paper or report), space is critical. Thus I'd like the package acronym to not give out the full name of the acronym when it's used for the first time.

Here's an MWE:
acronym-omit-long-word.tex

By the way, any help on another problem with acronym would be appreciated, too. :)

Well, a manual way of solving the problem is to define every defined acronym as 'used' right after the List of Acronyms. Meaning: One has to write down

Code: Select all

\acused{...}
for every defined

Code: Select all

\acro{...}
after

Code: Select all

\end{acronym}
.

If there's an automatic way, I didn't find it in the manual.
