[Tex/LaTex] Add all entries from one specific glossary

glossarieslatexmk

I created different glossaries to store different types of informations in my document (in the specific case there are two additional glossary types: greek and nondim other than main and acronyms).

\usepackage[toc,acronyms]{glossaries}
\newglossary[zlg]{greek}{zld}{zln}{Greek Symbols} %Greek Letters
\newglossary[nng]{nondim}{nnd}{nnn}{Non-dimensional Groups} %Non-Dimensional Numbers

With this what I achieve is that I have a list of glossaries used for acronyms that are added using \gls{acronym},
the standard glossary is used, for example, for Latin symbols:

\newglossaryentry{latin:h}{
    name=$h$,
    description={Enthalpy per unit of mass},
    sort=h
}

then I use the other glossaries, as an example, for greek symbols and non-dimensional groups:

\newglossaryentry{symb:Gamma}{
    name=$\gamma$,
    description={Generic property subjected to operators},
    sort=gamma, type=greek
}

\newglossaryentry{ndg:St}{
    name=$St$,
    description={Stokes number $\frac{18\mu_c}{\rho_p d_p^2}\frac{U}{D}$},
    sort=St, type=nondim
}

What I would like to achieve now is to use \glsaddall for specific types, in particular I would like to print all the glossaries from the main, greek and nondim types but not from the acronyms that instead have to show up only if explicitly called wih \glsadd in the text.

This is how I'm actually printing the glossaries in my document:

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]
\printglossary[type=main,style=long,nonumberlist,nopostdot,title={Latin Symbols}]
\printglossary[type=greek,style=long,nonumberlist,nopostdot]
\printglossary[type=nondim,style=long,nonumberlist,nopostdot]

but if I do not use \glsaddall the glossaries in main, greek and nondim are not showing up (not being explicitly added in the text), if I use \glsaddall I see correctly all the glossaries from all the types, but I see also acronyms that I did not use in the text.

Any suggestion?

\glsaddall has an optional argument, which allows for specification which glossary types should be used:

\glsaddall[types={main,greek,nondim}]

\documentclass{article}



\usepackage[toc,acronyms]{glossaries}

\newglossary[zlg]{greek}{zld}{zln}{Greek Symbols} %Greek Letters
\newglossary[nng]{nondim}{nnd}{nnn}{Non-dimensional Groups} %Non-Dimensional Numbers


\makeglossaries

    description={Generic property subjected to operators},
    sort=gamma, type=greek

    sort=St, type=nondim

[Tex/LaTex] Display long form (first-use like) entries of non-acronym-type entries

The appropriate command is \glsfirst{...}. Use it like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{A}{%
name={foo},%
description={bar},%
first={first},%
}

\begin{document}
\gls{A}, \gls{A}, \glsfirst{A}

\printglossary

\end{document}

Edit:

Regarding your updated question, I am concerned with your usage of the symbol field, for what you give as a symbol seems to be a unit. Maybe this answer can point into a better direction.

That being said, if you want to use the glossary entries the way you defined them, you can mimic the output of the glossary like I did here with a description environment under the equation. The crucial point is that the format of the output of \gls{...} can be set by redefining \glsdisplayfirst and \glsdisplay. Here, I redefine \glsdisplayfirst to show the name, the symbol in parentheses, and the description. If \gls{degvi} is used for the first time under equation, the output will be like in the glossary. I also set up a glossary style that mimics your output example, you can ignore that and keep what you currently have.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{glossaries}

\newglossary[slg]{symbols}{sls}{slo}{Symbolverzeichnis}
\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{degvi}{%
type=symbols,
name=$\Delta E_{GP,i}$,
symbol={MJ},
sort=energie differenz grau verbrauch,
description={Differenz graue Energie und Verbrauch zu Produktion des betrachteten Systems}%
}

\newglossaryentry{eg}{%
type=symbols,
name=$E_{GP}$,
symbol={MJ},
sort=energie grau verbrauch,
description={Graue Energie des Gebäudes}%
}

%% what should \gls{...} show on first usage
\renewcommand{\glsdisplayfirst}[4]{#1 (#3) #2}

\newglossarystyle{senseistyle}{%
  \renewenvironment{theglossary}%
    {\begin{description}}%
    {\end{description}}%
  \renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
      \item[\glsentryitem{##1}\glstarget{##1}{##2}]
      \space (##4)% the symbol in parentheses
      \space ##3% description
  }%
  % No heading between groups:
  \renewcommand*{\glsgroupheading}[1]{}%
  % Nothing between groups:
  \renewcommand*{\glsgroupskip}{}%
}

%% makeindex -s sensei.ist -o sensei.sls -t sensei.slg sensei.slo
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
  \Delta E_{GP,i} = E_{GP} - ...
\end{equation}
\begin{description}
  \item \gls{degvi}
  \item \gls{eg}
\end{description}

\printglossary[type=symbols,style=senseistyle]
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Acronym first use – footnote in glossary description

The problem is caused by the fact that internally the footnote is using \glslabel to reference the entry but the definition of this command has changed by the time the footnote is processed. The simplest thing to do is to modify the style to ensure the label is expanded first, as in the modified example below:

\documentclass{scrreprt}

\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage[table, dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage[backref=page,plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[style=listgroup,acronym,toc,hyperfirst]{glossaries}

\setglossarystyle{long}

\newacronymstyle{ex-footnote}%
{%
  \GlsUseAcrEntryDispStyle{footnote}%
}%
{%
  \GlsUseAcrStyleDefs{footnote}%
  \renewcommand*{\genacrfullformat}[2]{%
   \firstacronymfont{\glsentryshort{##1}}##2%
   \expandafter\footnote\expandafter{\expandafter\glsentrylong\expandafter{##1}}%
  }%
  \renewcommand*{\Genacrfullformat}[2]{%
   \firstacronymfont{\Glsentryshort{##1}}##2%
   \expandafter\footnote\expandafter{\expandafter\glsentrylong\expandafter{##1}}%
  }%
  \renewcommand*{\genplacrfullformat}[2]{%

}
