Text Formatting ⇒ nomencl | Nomenclature Definitions in Text

[yairsuari]

Hi all and thanks in advance.

I am using the nomencl package and I want the nomenclature entry to appear in text the first time I am using it in the document. For example:

The sentence I am using is: "Atlantic water are colder". In the latex code I type:

Code: Select all

\nomenclature{AW}{Atlantic water} are colder.

• My current PDF output: "are colder"
• Desired PDF output: "Atlantic water (AW) are colder"

Is there a way this can be done using this package?


thanks again
yair

How about this?

Code: Select all

\nomenclature{AW}{Atlantic water}%
Atlantic water [sic] are colder.

The acronym package (and my brand new »acro« package) are doing exactly that.

»acronym« example:

Code: Select all

% arara: pdflatex
% arara: pdflatex
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{acronym}

\newacro{AW}{Atlantic water}

\begin{document}

Are \ac{AW} cooler? \ac{AW} are cooler!

\acresetall% like the first time again:
\ac{AW} are still cooler.

\end{document}

»acro« example:

Code: Select all

% arara: pdflatex
% arara: pdflatex
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{acro}

\DeclareAcronym{aw}{AW}{atlantic water}

\begin{document}

Are \ac{aw} cooler? \ac{aw} are cooler!

\acresetall% like the first time again:
\Ac{aw} are still cooler.

\end{document}

This looks greate but my mistake is i didnt say that the reason i am using nomecl is to create a glossary at the beginning of the document.
the document is already finished and i have been asked to insert the abbrevation explanation each time it appears in the text.

thank and sorry

I am not sure I can follow. The nomencl does not provide a macro for actually typesetting anything in the text. The \nomenclature command simply stores the information for the glossary list and is used only once for each entry.

Maybe you should consider adding the information manually each time it is used…

Both packages I mentioned can create list of the defined acronyms, by the way.
