Page Layout ⇒ glossaries | Style for List of Acronyms

[efrenlopes]

Hello!

I am using the glossaries package to make a list of acronyms. But I'm not liking the format that is being generated. I have to generate a format like this?

ListOfAcronyms.jpg (60.92 KiB) Viewed 8162 times

This format I generated using the acronym package, but I want to do this with the glossaries package.

There is another more complete package than these two?

Thank you!

You can define a new glossary style similar to the listdotted style:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\newglossarystyle{dottedlocations}{%
  \glossarystyle{list}%
  \renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
    \item[\glsentryitem{##1}\glstarget{##1}{##2}] \emph{##3}%
      \unskip\leaders\hbox to 2.9mm{\hss.}\hfill##5}%
  \renewcommand*{\glsgroupskip}{}%
}

\glossarystyle{dottedlocations}

\newacronym{manet}{MANET}{Mobile Ad hoc NETwork}
\newacronym{rwp}{RWP}{Random WayPoint}
\newacronym{rw}{RW}{Random Walk}

\glsaddall

\begin{document}

\printglossaries

\end{document}

I tried to run this example, but I got the following error:

Code: Select all

<argument> \glsentryitem 
                         {manet}\glstarget {manet}{\glsnamefont {MANET}}

                                                 \glsgroupskip

What can be?

Thanks!!

I got! Just leave it at that:

Code: Select all

\newglossarystyle{dottedlocations}{%
  \glossarystyle{list}%
  \renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
    \item[\glstarget{##1}{##2}]\emph{##3}%
      \unskip\leaders\hbox to 2.9mm{\hss.}\hfill##5}%
  \renewcommand*{\glsgroupskip}{}%
}

It was perfect:)
Thank you.

You are using an old version of glossaries. I recommend you update it.
