MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ How can print a nomencl list of abbreviations within a page

[lrblackstock]

Hi. I'm trying to include a list of nomenclature in my thesis, and the school requires that the title be "list of abbreviations" in a specified format. Is there a way to include the list of nomenclature within a page rather than on its own page?

Thanks in advance.

Can you please clarify that?

In case you just wanted to rename the nomenclature page, see pg 9 of the nomencl.pdf

There's a bunch of other neat tricks in there too.

I see that changing the name of the page is pretty easy, but what i really want is a nomenclature page that conforms to the same margins/font sizes as the list of figures and list of tables page. I haven't ever edited a .sty file, and it seems a little cryptic to me.

I thought there might be a way to define a \listofabbreviations command in the thesis.sty file to simply call the \printnomenclature command within the .sty file.

Here's what I have, but I'm not sure if it's even possible to add \printnomenclature here:

Code: Select all

\def\listofabbreviations{\@restonecolfalse\if@twocolumn\@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
  \fi\fchapter{List of Abbreviations\@mkboth
   {LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS}{LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS}}\@starttoc{lop}\if@restonecol
    \twocolumn\fi}

This makes the title of the page conform to the specified format, but I would like to have the nomenclature on this page, too.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lindsey
