Acronyms

Post by franc »

Hey, I would to like to create a list with all the abbreviattions and acronyms which appear in my text with the page where they appear. So far, I have only managed to get the first page of appearance and not all of them.

So I have for instance :
GSM ------ page 2

and would like to get:
GSM ------ pages 2,3

I attach an exemple of my text.
Thanks a lot of.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[printonlyused,withpage]{acronym}
\begin{document}

\section{Acronyms}

\begin{acronym}[TDMA]
	\acro{CDMA}{Code Division Multiple Access}
	\acro{GSM}{Global System for Mobile communication}
	\acro{NA}[\ensuremath{N_{\mathrm A}}]
	{Number of Avogadro\acroextra{ (see \S\ref{Chem})}}
	\acro{NAD+}[NAD\textsuperscript{+}]{Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide}
	\acro{NUA}{Not Used Acronym}
	\acro{TDMA}{Time Division Multiple Access}
	\acro{UA}{Used Acronym}
	\acro{lox}[\ensuremath{LOX}]{Liquid Oxygen}%
	\acro{lh2}[\ensuremath{LH_2}]{Liquid Hydrogen}%
	\acro{IC}{Integrated Circuit}%
	\acro{BUT}{Block Under Test}%
	\acrodefplural{BUT}{Blocks Under Test}%
\end{acronym}


\section{Intro}
In the early nineties, \ac{GSM} was deployed in many European
countries. \ac{GSM} offered for the first time international
roaming for mobile subscribers. The \ac{GSM}’s use of \ac{TDMA} as

\newpage

its communication standard was debated at length. And every now
and then there are big discussion whether \ac{CDMA} should have
been chosen over \ac{TDMA}.

\section{Furthermore}
\acresetall
The reader could have forgotten all the nice acronyms, so we repeat the
meaning again.

If you want to know more about \ac{GSM}, \acf{TDMA}, \acf{CDMA}
and other acronyms, just read a book about mobile communication. Just
to mention it: There is another \ac{UA}, just for testing purposes!

\subsection{Some chemistry and physics}
\label{Chem}
\ac{NAD+} is a major electron acceptor in the oxidation
of fuel molecules. The reactive part of \ac{NAD+} is its nictinamide
ring, a pyridine derivate.
\newpage

One mol consists of \acs{NA} atoms or molecules. There is a relation
between the constant of Boltzmann and the \acl{NA}:
\begin{equation}
	k = R/\acs{NA}
\end{equation}

\acl{lox}/\acl{lh2} (\acsu{lox}/\acsu{lh2}) 42
\subsection{Some testing fundamentals}
When testing \acp{IC}, one typically wants to identify functional
blocks to be tested separately. The latter are commonly indicated as
\acp{BUT}. To test a \ac{BUT} requires defining a testing strategy\dots

A float also admits references like \ac{GSM} or \acf{CDMA}.

Acronyms

Post by cgnieder »

Hi franc,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

If I remember correctly this is not possible with acronym. There are alternative packages like acro and glossaries which can do it but switching may be some effort, depending on how large your document already is...
