nomencl | Remove Indentation in multi-line Entries

Post by eroeurbano »

Dear all,

a friend of mine needs help to write her PhD thesis with LaTeX and unfortunately I couldn't help her. She is building a two columns glossary terms list using the nomencl package. It seems that everything works fine for her except that when the explanation is longer than one line, the following ones have an indentation that she would like to remove. Is that possible? Which option should she specify, or which command has to be renewed? (and how?)

Thanks a lot in advance to everybody!

It would be very kind if you mention when doing a crossposting [1]*. This is only fair because it prevents others from double efforts and waste of time.

The indentation is not done by default. So you should show us a code example, which does it, from your friend, so we could tell you which part of that code causes that undesired indentation.

Sorry localghost.. I posted on stackexchange as well but I didn't know it was forbidden (I confused crossposting with multiposting apparently,
so I didn't think to be making something wrong...)

Thanks Stefan, I'll try ask her the code and if I can get it I'll post it here to have some advice!
Cheers!

It is not forbidden. It just has to be mentioned and a direct link has to be added (see rules).

You can simply include the command:

Code: Select all

\noindent


anywhere on the lines that you don't want indented
