Text Formatting ⇒ glossaries | More Space on Page for List of Acronyms

[ougka]

Hello,

I use glossaries to have a List of Acronyms. When the list of acronyms is displayed at the beginning of my document, they take up considerably less space than the page has, leaving a large space at the bottom of each page.

I've checked with other normal pages, or even TOC etc. and the list of acronyms page "ends" way higher..

Here is a MWE (it's a bit big so that you can end up using two pages in the list of Acronyms)

Code: Select all

How can I increase the useful space that the list of acronyms takes up on the glossary page? (thus having more acronyms in one page?)
Thanks

Try using style=long instead of style=super. It's the supertabular environment that's causing the problem.
