TeX - LaTeX Asked by JChat on March 2, 2021
I am using the nomenclature package to define nomenclatures in various chapters of a thesis. I am new to using this package and doing this using e.g.
nomenclature[z-ANN]{ANN}{Artificial Neural Network}.
However, the same term may occur in different chapters- as (unintentionally), I have defined some terms more than once and as a result, they are appearing multiple times in the main thesis document.
The nomenclatures are displayed using printnomenclature
.
Is there a way to only display the unique nomenclature contents (e.g. ANN is only displayed once in the main nomenclature, even though it may have been defined multiple times. Thanks
EDIT- Turns out that there is a simple way of doing this with the acro
package!
Not a solution with the nomencl
package but an alternative using the acro
package (as per request in a comment to the question): acro
allows the creation of “local” list of acronyms which only list the acronyms that were used in between two uses of acbarrier
. In addition a list of all acronyms can be created. This way there is no need to define acronyms mutiple times.
printacronyms % complete list
acbarrier
...
printacronyms[local] % local list
acbarrier
...
printacronyms[local] % another local list
acbarrier
These barriers can be called automatically, for example by adding them to the section
command. The example below demonstrates this using preto
(provided by the etoolbox
package).
documentclass{article}
usepackage{acro}
acsetup{
barriers/use = true ,
barriers/reset = true
}
newcommandprintsectionacronyms[1]{%
printacronyms[local,heading=none,preamble=subsection{Acronyms to Section #1}]
}
DeclareAcronym{ANN}{
short = ANN ,
long = Artificial Neural Network
}
DeclareAcronym{xx}{
short = xx ,
long = just a test
}
DeclareAcronym{yy}{
short = yy ,
long = another test
}
usepackage{etoolbox}
% make every section a barrier:
pretosection{acbarrier}
begin{document}
printacronyms[name=All Acronyms in the Document]
section{Foo}
subsection{Foo Subsection}
ac{xx} and ac{ANN}
printsectionacronyms{Foo}
section{Bar}
subsection{Bar Subsection}
ac{ANN} and text
printsectionacronyms{Bar}
section{Baz}
subsection{Baz Subsection}
ac{xx} and ac{yy}
printsectionacronyms{Baz}
end{document}
