glossaries | Error about undefined Glossary Entry

Post by Ailicec »

Hello

I just started using Glossaries, and things were going well, but I have found an error I cannot seem to get rid of. The system is working for other acronyms. It is just not for this one.

In the acronymsanddefinitions file I have written:

Code: Select all

\newacronym{HPLC}{HPLC}{High Performance Liquid Chromatography}
Then in the text I put in \acrshort{HPLC}. However I am getting an error.

Code: Select all

!Package glossaries Error: Glossary entry `HPLC' has not been defined.
See the glossaries package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return> for immediate help.
...

l.49 ...1}\acrshort {HPLC} Method Development}{26}

?
I have tried removing all the \acrshort{HPLC} from the text, removing all the files referring to chap1 etc from the Document.tex main document (by putting % in front of each calling line) etc. But I am not managing to compile the document anyways.

Any suggestions of what I can do?

Thanks

Hello

I just noticed that this issue generally comes up when I use an acronym in the caption of an image/table. Perhaps anyone could shed some light on what I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks

Either use \protect or update your version of the glossaries package.
