nomencl | New Line in Item Label conflicts with Group Label

[will_flp]

Hi,

Following the solution given in this thread, I am using

Code: Select all  •  Open in writeLaTeX

\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{\smash{\parbox[t]{1.5cm}{#1}}\hfil}

However, it conflicts with the \nomgroup (see below).

Code: Select all  •  Open in writeLaTeX

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage[noprefix]{nomencl}

% Configure title of groups
\newcommand{\bfdz}[1]{\bf\fontsize{12}{14}\selectfont #1}
\newcommand{\meru}[1]{\rule[2pt]{\textwidth-(\widthof{#1})}{.5pt}}

% Enable two line label
\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{\smash{\parbox[t]{1.5cm}{#1}}\hfil}

% Create Groups
\renewcommand{\nomgroup}[1]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{A}}{\vspace{5mm} \item[\bfdz General Symbols] \meru{\bfdz General Symbols~~}}{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{G}}{\vspace{5mm} \item[\bfdz Greek Symbols] \meru{\bfdz Greek Symbols~~}}{}}}

\makenomenclature

\begin{document}

\printnomenclature[1.5cm]

\nomenclature[A]{$p(r_m,t)$, $p_m(t)$}{Received signal at the $m^{th}$ microphone\nomrefpage}%{}{}

\nomenclature[G]{$\Delta t_{\vec{x}}$}{Emission time delay at focus point $\vec{x}$, $\Delta t_{\vec{x}}=r_{\vec{x}} / c$\nomrefpage}%{}{}

\end{document}

Does anyone know a way to fix it ?

Thanks,

Will

Hi Will,

welcome to the board!

What is the conflict? It compiles without error.

Hi Stefan, thanks for the welcome.


Well, to be more clear please see the attached picture. I want the name of the groups to be wider ("blue space") and the labels smaller ("delimited green").

If you comment the line

Code: Select all  •  Open in writeLaTeX

\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{{\parbox[t]{1.5cm}{#1}}\hfil}

you will get something like the picture.

Here's a suggestion:

Code: Select all  •  Open in writeLaTeX

% arara: pdflatex
% arara: nomencl
% arara: pdflatex
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage[noprefix]{nomencl}

\newcommand\grouphead[1]{%
  \rlap{%
    \parbox{\textwidth}{\textbf{\large#1 \hrulefill}}%
  }\hfill
}

% Enable two line label
\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{%
  \smash{\parbox[t]{.15\linewidth}{\RaggedRight#1}}}

% Create Groups
\renewcommand{\nomgroup}[1]{%
  \ifx#1A\relax
    \item[\grouphead{General Symbols}]
  \fi
  \ifx#1G\relax
    \item[\grouphead{Greek Symbols}]
  \fi
  \bigskip}

\makenomenclature

\begin{document}

Text bla bla

\printnomenclature[1.5cm]

\nomenclature[A]{$p(r_m,t)$, $p_m(t)$}{Received signal at the $m^{th}$ microphone\nomrefpage}%{}{}
