I was searching for 2 hours straight now and I must say the package documentation is extensive but not very clear - frustrating. I'm looking for a way to manually display the first use form (long form) of non-acronym-type entries without resetting the counter. Can somebody help me?
I've learned so far there are indeed commands for acronyms which do exactly that. But used on an entry in a different glossary (main or custom) produces no text.
Edit: First, I like to thank mafp for his answer so far. I should maybe elaborate on my problem some more. I am currently writing on my Bachelor thesis. Since I introduced a good amount of formulas what i would like is to have a glossary for the symbols with a brief description of what they stand for. Additionally, I am thinking about inserting the same definition underneath each formula. One of my entries looks like the following:
\newglossaryentry{degvi}{type=symbols,
name=$\Delta E_{GP,i}$,
symbol={MJ},
sort=energie differenz grau verbrauch,
description={Differenz graue Energie und Verbrauch zu Produktion des betrachteten Systems}}
which produces an output like this:
Honestly, I would like to see the same output below the equation without typing everything twice. Maybe this isn't the best approach, but I like the idea of having the database of symbols with the automatic glossary creation for reference (e.g., if I'm trying to find an equation with a specific symbol).
none
as innot an acronym
. Because acronym entries have a dedicated command to display<description><abbrev>
and the other glossaries do not. At least thats what i think. – Sensei Apr 5 '13 at 14:56
