Document Classes ⇒ Forcing line-spacing in the acronym package

[slp58]

Hi I have a document within which I'm using the acronym package (it's called from the .cls file):

\RequirePackage{acronym}
\renewcommand{\ac}[1]{%
\expandafter\ifx\csname ac@#1\endcsname\relax%
\acf{#1}%
\expandafter\gdef\csname ac@#1\endcsname{x}%
\else%
\acs{#1}%
\fi}

I don't know if it's default, but the spacing in the list of acronyms looks like 2-2.5 lines. I would like to single space this list to reduce the number of pages taken. I already set my main document to onehalfspace using the setspace package. I tried including the singlespace line in my acronym.tex file but that doesn't affect it.

How can I force the acronym.tex spacing to be single line?


My 'master document' structure:
...
\usepackage{setspace}
...
\begin{document}
...
\frontmatter
\input{acronyms}
...
\mainmatter
\onehalfspace
...
\end{document}

Hi,

No, it is not. Since you are using a non-standard document class, this class must be responsible for that behaviour.

Try using the singlespacing environmnet provided by the setspace package:

Code: Select all

...
\frontmatter
\begin{singlespacing}
\input{acronyms}
\end{singlespacing}
...

If this does not work, then try attaching here the .cls file you are using (and maybe someone will have the time to look at it) or, better yet, try contacting the designer of that particular document class.

I tried that but unfortunately it didn't work. Ok well below is the mscThesis.cls file as I already tried and was not able to get in touch with the author.

If anyone has the time I would really appreciate it tell me how I can reduce the acronym spacing? Thanks
