Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ List of Abbrevations as Chapter

[Matam]

Please see the attachment to understand my Problem. I want the List of Abbreviations as Chapter title. Here, it appeared as section heading. Similarly, it appeared as section heading in Contents. Please, see the same attachment for contents list.

Here is the code in Preamble and I entered for List of Abbreviations:

This could help, before \printglossary:

\renewcommand{\glossarysection}[2][]{\chapter*{#1}}

Stefan

[Matam]

Thanks a lot. It did solve the issue. But, some other minor issues developed. Please check the attachment.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Try

Code: Select all

\cleardoublepage
\markboth{List of Abbrevations}{List of Abbrevations}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Abbrevations}
\printglossary...

Stefan

[Matam]

I added the following code given by you and it solved all the issues. Only problem is, twice appearance of List of Abbreviations in Latex. How to remove the second appearance of List of Abbreviations from list of contents. Please, see the PDF screen shot to understand the problem.

The code is:

% List of Abbreviations 
\cleardoublepage
\renewcommand{\glossarysection}[2][]{\chapter*{#1}}
\markboth{List of Abbrevations}{List of Abbrevations}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Abbrevations}
\printglossary[title=List of Abbreviations,type=\acronymtype]
\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\makefirstuc{#1}}

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Perhaps simply remove \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Abbrevations}. As it's already done (the second time).

Stefan

[Matam]

Excellent. Your second reply did work well after running the code for couple of time. I did not delete the code as you mentioned in your third reply. Please, check the PDF screen shot.

The reason for the list of abbreviations appearing as a section rather than a chapter is because you have explicitly instructed the glossaries package to do this with the section package option:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[toc,% add the glossary/list of abbreviations to the table of contents
 nopostdot,nonumberlist,acronym,
 section% make the glossary/list of abbreviations use \section
 ]{glossaries}

The default behaviour is to use \chapter if it has been defined, otherwise it will use \section. (The starred unnumbered form is the default.) So there's no need to redefine \glossarysection if you want to use \chapter*, just remove the section package option:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[toc,% add the glossary/list of abbreviations to the table of contents
 nopostdot,nonumberlist,acronym ]{glossaries}
