MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ How to add a horizontal rule after "List of Acronyms" using glossaries package?

[Septic6110]

I am writing my thesis using the `report` class in LaTeX. The Table of Contents (`\tableofcontents`) includes a horizontal rule below its title, using the

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\cftaftertoctitle

command. However, when I generate the List of Acronyms using `\printnoidxglossary[type=\acronymtype]` from the `glossaries` package, there is no horizontal rule below its title, and I do not know how to do this. I have included the MWE below using a standard thesis template and other packages.

Code: Select all

I want to achieve the following:
1. A horizontal rule appears below "**List of Acronyms**", just like it does for the **Table of Contents**.
2. Similarly, a horizontal rule appears below **References**.

Efforts: I have included the following line

Code: Select all

\printnoidxglossary[type=\acronymtype, title=\vspace{-1mm}{\vspace{0.7\baselineskip} \huge List of Acronyms \vspace{-0.3\baselineskip} \rule{\linewidth}{2pt}}]

But this is a very hacky way, and it still has not achieved the effect, as there is some vertical space (when you run the MWE), and the visual appearance is not similar to the List of tables or List of figures—any better way of doing this.

Please remove the (two) obstacles that prevent your example from running without errors. It is also welcomed if you share your crossposts.

Have a look at the last optional argument of the \titleformat command in the titlesec package manual.

Thank you for your response. I have removed the obstacles, and the code is running fine now. My bad for not testing in the first place. This is my first post in this forum. Here is a similar question that I have asked in a similar forum.
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions ... of-conten
I could produce a horizontal rule, but the white space between the rule and the titles is excessive when you compare it with another listing like "List of Figures" and "List of Tables" (as you can see in the output pdf).

The horizontal rule is achieved using command.

Code: Select all

\cftafterloftitle

I could not find any similar command in the glossaries package.
I have partially achieved my objective, and it probably works fine, but if there is any other method that can give me the stated output, it would be nice.

Please share if there is any way to use glossaries or another package.
