Others ⇒ nomenclature change separation space

[dax42]

Hello there,

I am currently putting together a list of abbreviations for my thesis and it works well with the nomenclature package. However, I would like to change the space that exists between the abbreviation and the explanation. At the moment it is only separated by a small space, which means that if an abbreviation is longer than four letters, the explanations start further to the right than for short abbreviations. How can I set the separation space to be bigger, say 3cm?

My preamble has the following adjustments already:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{nomencl}
\renewcommand{\nomname}{List of Abbreviations}
\renewcommand{\nompreamble}{\markboth{LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS}{LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS}}
\setlength{\nomitemsep}{-\parsep}
\makenomenclature

Thanks!

Hi,

you can use the optional argument for the \printnomenclature command:

Code: Select all

\printnomenclature[3cm]
