[Tex/LaTex] Include custom text in glossary

Question

I'd like to include a disclaimer like "This list of acronyms only specifies the most important ones" underneath the caption of the acronym page. I'm currently inserting the page using

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,style=list]

Is there any way to include custom paragraphs using this command?

Answer 1

You can use \setglossarypreamble like this:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\setglossarypreamble[acronym]{This list of acronyms only
specifies the most important ones}

\newacronym{abc}{ABC}{sample acronym}

\begin{document}
\gls{abc}.

\printglossaries
\end{document}

This produces:

For older versions of glossaries you need to redefine \glossarypreamble before you display the list of acronyms.

\renewcommand{\glossarypreamble}{This list of acronyms only
specifies the most important ones}
