Space in Nomenclature

Post by libuz »

I am writing my report in Lyx. But when I print my Nomenclature, there are irregular vertical spaces between them. Here is the image:

I am printing nomenclature simply from the Nomenclature Entry from Insert menu.
How can I remove these spaces?
Also, how can I make the list aligned?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I strongly recommend that you use the Labeling environment of LyX.

The first word is separated from the others and the result is a vertically aligned text. If you want to have the text to the left with more than one word, just use the protected space between the words (ctrl+space) instead of regular space (the space button of the keyboard).

I have the same exact problem and thought I would bump this instead of creating a identical post...

Did you libuz find a solution to this? Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Space in Nomenclature

Post by cgnieder »

Without seeing some code or a mini sample lyx file it is hard to be concrete but to me these spaces look as if they begin new alphabetic groups. The only thing I don't understand in the picture above is why there is no space between “bpm” and “CMR”, i.e., between B and C. But as I said: we'd need some sample code or file (i.e. a Infominimal working example).

I think I resolved the issue while working on a MWE. In LyX while defining a nomenclature entry you may (accidentally) include a break i.e. enter or return stroke. This return stroke gets included in the nomenclature and messes up the vertical spacing. I attached an image. This resolved my issue.
