nomencl | Change Line Spacing within Nomenclature

Post by Holmes »

Hi,

I am a newbie with LaTeX and I am writing an article for which I need a nomenclature. I would like to reduce the default line space so that I can add a lot of entries while keeping the nomenclature on a single page. I tried the setspace package without much success, line space is only slightly reduced whatever the value I use.

Could you please help me?
Many thanks

PS: I have attached an example.

nomencl | Change Line Spacing within Nomenclature

The documentation to nomencl states (highlighting by me):
\nomitemsep -- The skip between two entries in the nomenclature can be adjusted using \nomitemsep. This should be done in the preamble or the file nomencl.cfg.
Note that if you want no extra skip between entries you have to use
\setlength{\nomitemsep}{-\parsep}

Hi everyone,

I'm trying as well to change the line spacing within nomenclature.
As suggested by the nomencl manual, using:

\setlength{\nomitemsep}{-\parsep}

I get no vertical space between an entry and the other one.
The problem is that I get also no vertical space between the group title (e.g. Latin symbols) and the first entry.
I would like to have some space after the group title and then no space between an item and the other.
Is it possible?

Thank you for your help.
