General ⇒ glossaries | New Acronym Style

[letscho84]

Hello,

I'm writing my thesis and needed a acronym list at the opening of my document. I try to create one by my own, but it does not comply to my expectations. I put a PDF of what I want in the attachment.

And now I try to explain what I want. In my acronym list I would like to have at the left side the abbreviation then the German meaning and with a little space after that meaning a English translation. What i can´t adjust is that the first description (the German meaning) starts for every abbreviation at the same point (like in the PDF). AND I only want that in the text I´m writing stands the English translation and the abbreviation at the first use.

I hope one could help me with my problem and understood what I want. Here is what I´ve created up to now:

Hi Nicola,

yes that´s exactly what i wanted! Thanks for your help.

But how could i do a line break at longer description?

Greetings,

Hello together,

I tested the code of Nicola with a larger document and find some difficulties in the produced file. LaTeX put at the beginnen of every new acronym a letter. Like:

AABS
ACD
BBD
BS

and so on. So the right formation must be like:

ABS
ACD
BD
BS

Now my question: how could i deactive the first letter in the formation of Nicola? I hope you know what i mean.

Greetings, Letscho

Sorry, I missed the argument for \glsgroupheading. Replace the line:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\glsgroupheading}{}%

with

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\glsgroupheading}[1]{}%

But how could i do a line break at longer description?

Use the "p" column specifier instead of "l". For example, change:

\renewenvironment{theglossary}%
{\begin{longtable}{lll}}%
{\end{longtable}}%

with something like:

Code: Select all

  \renewenvironment{theglossary}%
  {\begin{longtable}{lp{0.4\linewidth}p{0.4\linewidth}}}%
  {\end{longtable}}%

(Change the lengths as appropriate.)

Nicola Talbot
