I'm using the acronym package. Is it possible to automatically add an index entry each time an acronym is used?
1 Answer
Modify the \ac
command so that in addition to its original function it will call \index
.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\usepackage{acronym}
\let\oldac\ac
\renewcommand*{\ac}[1]{\oldac{#1}\index{#1}}
\begin{document}
\begin{acronym}
\acro{NATO}{North Atlantic Treaty Organization}
\end{acronym}
Some text about the \ac{NATO}.
\printindex
\end{document}
index
to add index entries automatically every time you use\ac
.
