I'm an IT student who's writing a thesis. IT makes use of a lot of acronyms and so I would like to show an acronym list. For that I made use of the \usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
package. I've defined my acronyms, made my glossary and asked to print it out but nothing shows. I am however able to use the \acrshort{}
, \acrlong{}
and \acrfull{}
commands to reference the acronyms:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newacronym{rpa}{RPA}{Robotic Process Automation}
\newacronym{ai}{AI}{Artificiële Inteliggentie}
\newacronym{ml}{ML}{Machine Learning}
\newacronym{ipa}{IPA}{Intelligent Process Automation}
\newacronym{bpa}{BPA}{Business Process Automation}
\newacronym{hr}{HR}{Human Resources}
\newacronym{bpm}{BPM}{Business Process Management}
\newacronym{ocr}{OCR}{Optical Character Recognition}
\newacronym{nlp}{NLP}{Natural Language Processing}
\newacronym{nlg}{NLG}{Natural Language Generation}
\newacronym{cmp}{CMP}{Cognitive Modeling Platform}
\newacronym{idr}{IDR}{Intelligent Digital Robots}
\newacronym{mvp}{MVP}{Minimum Viable Product}
\newacronym{api}{API}{Application Programming Interface}

\acrshort{rpa} kan gecombineerd worden samen met \acrfull{ai} om zo langere en moeilijkere taken op zich te nemen. Hierdoor worden ze door sommigen beschreven als zelf-verbeterende digitale werkkrachten. Enkele velden waarbinnen \acrshort{rpa} kan gecombineerd worden met \acrshort{ai} zijn \acrfull{ocr} en \acrfull{nlg}. \autocite{everythingRPA}

makeglossaries
, LaTeX on your file? (Note that the code you shared so far is not a complete example document and can not be compiled directly. It is missing a\documenctlass
and does not actually use any of the acronyms. See tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/35864.)article
,report
orbook
. You need to runmakeglossaries
on your document just like you run LaTeX or BibTeX. On the command line you'd just saymakeglossaries docname
, but if you are using an editor, you may have to configure it formakeglossaries
.
