Acronyms
If you use a lot of acronyms (like in the KIELER project with all its subprojects or all the Eclipse stuff like EMF, GMD and so on), it's good to have a helper to arrange these. Especially the option smaller is nice to typeset acronyms a little smaller such that they fit better into the surrounding text.
\documentclass{article} \usepackage[nohyperlinks,smaller,printonlyused,withpage]{acronym} \usepackage{hyperref} % references, links \begin{document} %--- Acronyms -----------------------------------------------------------------% % how to use acronyms: % \ac = use acronym, first time write both, full name and acronym % \acf = use full name (text + acronym) % \acs = only use acronym % \acl = only use long text % \acp, acfp, acsp, aclp = use plural form for acronym (append 's') % \acsu, aclu = write + mark as used % \acfi = write full name in italics and acronym in normal style % \acused = mark acronym as used % \acfip = full, emphasized, plural, used \section*{List of Acronyms} \begin{acronym} \acro{kieler}[KIELER]{Kiel Integrated Environment for Layout Eclipse Rich Client} \acro{xml}[XML]{Extensible Markup Language} \acro{uml}[UML]{Unified Modeling Language} \end{acronym} \section{Title} The tool \ac{kieler} is pretty cool.
