I'm currently using the glossaries package to describe a few abbreviations/acronyms, I have defined all my acronyms with \gls{}...
My glossary list however makes an enter at the middle of the page, I don't know why. Does anyone know how I can expand the second column to describe all the text on one line?
I can't paste the whole preamble, because it contains confidential information and is 3 pages long.
Short answer:
Apparently the O.P. has too wide descriptions. Using
\setlength{\glsdescwidth}{0.8\textwidth}
will increase the width of the description column used in the long and other glossaries styles.
However, if the text is still wider, it will be wrapped around.
style=long(I suspect you havestyle=long3) – user31729 Oct 2 '15 at 17:08code\usepackage[toc, nogroupskip, nonumberlist, nopostdot, style = super]{glossaries}. My current issue is that some of the lines are divided over two rows, but I want the information to be on the same line. e.g. MPS : separated after massively.. – BenneB Oct 2 '15 at 17:29\setlength{\glsdescwidth}{0.8\textwidth}, i.e. increasing the width of the description column. But this will not work if the description content is just too wide for this width -- it will wrap then. In this you have to use a smaller font, for example – user31729 Oct 2 '15 at 17:40
