List of Abbreviations

Post by uccaamo »

Hi,

I write the List of Abbreviations manually in a table environment. The problem is that the list is quite long and when I compile it, I lose the bottom margin.
I have also included the packages I am using in the permeable section.
can you please help me.... :roll:
many thanks,


\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ll cc}\toprule

Acm & Acetamidomethyl\\
A & Alanine\\
C & Cysteine\\
CHCA & $\alpha$-cyano-4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid \\
D & Aspartic acid\\
and so on....
\bottomrule \end{tabular}\end{center}

List of Abbreviations

Post by localghost »

Please post a full but minimal example instead of useless code snippets and preambles. Otherwise it becomes nearly impossible to give specific help.

You may take a look at packages like acronym or glossaries instead of struggling with a table. If you insist on doing the list manually, take a look at the longtable package or use a standard list environment like description.
