I am trying to use the acronym package to create an acronym list. The problem is that one of the acronyms I need to use contains an ampersand ('&').
But when I try to compile the .tex file I get this error:
! Missing \endcsname inserted.
<to be read again>
\&
l.2 ...&M}[\AC@hyperlink{M\&M}{M\&M}]{I like them}
Here is an example:
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{acronym}
\begin{document}
\begin{acronym}
\acro{M\&M}{I like them}
\end{acronym}
\end{document}
So how do I use an ampersand in an acronym using the acronym package?
More generally, how is it possible to apply special formatting to a single acronym? For example
\acro{\textit{IAF}}{Italic acronym frenzy}

Completely different way than in my previous answer, is reading the package documentation, for example here.
