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
\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,12pt]{book}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\usepackage[style=super, nonumberlist, translate=false, toc, numberline]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
%Remove the dot at the end of glossary descriptions
\renewcommand*{\glspostdescription}{}
%Make the description column of the glossary a bit wider
%default is 0.6\linewidth
\setlength{\glsdescwidth}{0.8\linewidth}
%Make the acronym bold in the TOC
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textbf{#1}}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2.0}
