remove italics from align

Question

\begin{align*}
P2P &- Peer-to-Peer Network\\
%.....
\end{align*}

I have a Abbreviation page in my PDF. For aligning all the '-' I am using align*. All the content inside align shows up in italics. How do I make the content inside align appear normal and not italic?

Answer 1

Environment align(*) is a math-related environment. You should use a tabular environment: with the header as below, you will probably get what you want.

\begin{tabular}{l@{ --- }l}
P2P & Peer-to-Peer Network\\
%.....
\end{tabular}

If your list becomes longer than one page, consider using package longtable or similar.
