Aligned at the same margins acronym and listofsymbols












1















First of all, I know, that it would be much easier to use the glossaries package. However, maybe there is still a solution to my question. Here is a short MWE:



documentclass[ngerman]{article}
usepackage{babel}
usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}

usepackage{acronym}

%Symbolverzeichnis
usepackage[final]{listofsymbols}
renewcommand{symheadingname}{Symbolverzeichnis}


begin{document}
section*{Abkuerzungsverzeichnis}
begin{acronym}[EU-EHS]
acro{EU-EHS}{Europäisches Emissionshandelssystem}
end{acronym}
%Symbolverzeichnis
opensymdef
newsym[Aufrechter Buchstabe]{AB}{text{A}}
closesymdef

listofsymbols

newpage
AB
end{document}


I am trying to align the list of symbols to the same position as the acronym package does. Is there any way to do that?

  • listofsymbols is an aged package, with no update since 2003. I suggest to use the much more up-to-date glossaries package, which allows for many customizations and can do both acronyms and list of symbols etc. You don't even need acronym then.

Looking into listofsymbolscode there is a hspace*{symindent} for each symbol entry, i.e. a default indentation for symbols.



The user manual does not reveal anything about symindent, but again looking in the package code, it is shown, that



setlength{symindent}{1.5em}


is the default value. Changing the length to 0em removes the indentation.



Side note: I suggest to use the modern glossaries package instead of listofsymbols.
