Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Abbreviation chapter messes with chapter configuaration of next chapter

[jantzla]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a chapter of used abbreviations in my document (class report). This is working fine so far, but the following chapters are affected by this new chapter and the style of front page of a new chapter is not displayed as it is supposed to (see chapter Introduction vs References). This happens no matter where I put the abbreviation chapter.

Here is the code I've been using:

Code: Select all

Thankful for any ideas that could to solve this

Hi jantzla,

welcome to the forum!

Remove \renewcommand{\chapter}[2]{} because this redefines/removes the \chapter command.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the hint! But when I do that the title of the chapter changes from "Abbreviations" to "Acronyms" and I would prefer to keep the former. Any suggestions on how to achieve that?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Instead of \printacronyms you could use:

Code: Select all

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,title={Abbreviations}]

Or after loading babel, in the preamble:

Code: Select all

\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand*{\acronymname}{Abbreviations}}

Hi Stefan,

thanks so much for your input. However, I've successfully generated the right title but now I have no output of acronyms/abbreviations...
Do you have a solution?
