[Tex/LaTex] Glossary/Abbreviations list

Question

How can I make a list as shown in the picture?

I want to have a similar list of abbreviations/notions where everything is lined up as shown in the picture. I have tried to use the glossaries package, but that didn't give me the dots inbetween.
I have also tried to use \begin{description}, but then I had to manually enter the dots.

Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

This is possible either with the main glossary and using listdotted as glossary style or defining another special glossary for this.

Please note that listdotted ignores the value of the symbol key, however.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{glossaries}

\makeglossaries


\newglossaryentry{energy}{name={$E$}, description={Energy}}
\newglossaryentry{speedoflight}{name={$c$}, description={Speed of light}}
\newglossaryentry{mass}{name={$m$}, description={Mass}}

\begin{document}

\glsaddall

\setglossarystyle{listdotted}
\printglossary[title={Symbols}]


\end{document}
