Earlier I asked a question to match the heading of List of Acronyms and Symbols
to that of List of table
(instead of chapter heading). That was solved by Nicola via Formatting of heading List of Acronyms and list of tables glossaries package link. However, now it is kind of reverse problem that my Glossary
heading has the same style as List of Symbols
etc but I want it to be same as my chapter and index heading (smaller and centered) as it comes at the end. I am attaching a MWE
which also reflects the code sent by Nicola to solve my earlier problem. I hope it is humanly possible to do that 🙂

Best Answer
You just need to redefine
\glossarysection
again before the final\printglossary
so that it now uses\chapter*
:This produces:
(You might want to use the
nopostdot
package option to suppress the redundant final full stop.)If you also want to add the glossary to the table of contents you need to adjust the code to include
\addcontentsline
:or
To update the page headers, you can use
\markboth
. For example:or (for upper case headings):
Edit:
Presumably at this point in the document you don't have any more numbered chapters. In which case, the easiest solution may be to just use
\chapter
instead of\chapter*
but suppress the numbering by changing thesecnumdepth
counter. This will ensure the glossary behaves in the same way as your other chapters. For example:
