I am writing my thesis in LaTeX
. I need to create a list of acronyms (or abbreviations).
I want to have a page like what I have for list of tables and list of figures in which I specify all the acronyms I have used in my thesis.
Is there any way by which I can create such a list?
The class that I have used is:
\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt,titlepage,oneside,final]{book}
I have used following methods which none of them works,
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
% abbreviations:
\newacronym{ny}{NY}{New York}
and the second method is,
\usepackage[toc,section=section]{glossaries}
\newglossary{abbrev}{abs}{abo}{List of Abbreviations}
\newglossaryentry{MS}{
name = MS ,
description = mass spectroscopy ,
type = abbrev
}
\makeglossaries
\printacronyms
does not work? ;-)
