General ⇒ Not working nomenclature with columns and groups

[RaptorAero]

Hi,

I am using a nomenclature in LyX with this preamble, which I learned to do here, in order to make a nomenclature with two columns and several groups. I have the exactly same preamble working in other document (I have attached too), but it isn't working here I don't know why.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\nomgroup}[1]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{G}}{\item[\textbf{Símbolos griegos}]}{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{L}}{\item[\textbf{Símbolos latinos}]}{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{R}}{\item[\textbf{Sistemas de referencia}]}{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{SUB}}{\item[\textbf{Subíndices}]}{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{SUP}}{\item[\textbf{Superíndices}]}
{}
}% matches Símbolos griegos
}% matches Símbolos latinos
}% matches Sistemas de referencia
}% matches Subíndices
}% matches Superíndices

\usepackage{multicol}
\renewcommand*\nompreamble{\begin{multicols}{2}}
\renewcommand*\nompostamble{\end{multicols}}

Thank you in advance.

The attachment MWE_nomenclature.lyx is no longer available

Solved.

I just needed:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{ifthen}

Ok, so I marked it as solved.

Btw. perhaps we would have seen that too, if you would have posted the error message or the .log file.

Ok, thank you. I will do it the next time, I thought it wasn't needed because the same error appears in the MWE.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Posting an MWE was very good!
I just don't have LyX installed on each of my PCs (Laptop), so I could not test with it.

Btw. with the error message mentioned, people would find your solution (using ifthen) if they come here via google for the same problem or use the forum search, so it's also beneficial anyway.
