Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Acronyms List

[ddouglasgs]

Hi,

could someone help me with this acronyms list? I need to use this following acronym:

\acro{P&I}{Process \& Instrumentation}

It compiles, but when I use in the body's text(\ac{P&I}) an error is generated, because of the reserved character "&". So what should I do?

Thanks!

Hi,

I assume that you are using the acronym package; in this case, you can use the optional argument of the \acro command, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{acronym}

\begin{document}

\ac{PI}

\begin{acronym}
\acro{PI}[P\&I]{Process \& Instrumentation}
\end{acronym}

\end{document}
