[Tex/LaTex] Print glossaries without title

glossaries

For now I print my glossaries in document using command \printglossaries from glossaries package. Unfortunately the title of glossaries messes up my document formatting in a way that blank page appears before the title.

In documentation I found command \setglossarysection which by using in my document as:

\setglossarysection{subsubsection}

fixes the issue of blank page before the glossaries, but the title still remains.

What are the possibilities of printing glossaries without the title?

Best Answer

The sectioning command is inserted via \glossarysection[toc title]{title}, so just redefine that command to do nothing:

\renewcommand{\glossarysection}[2][]{}

However, it might be better if you provide a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates the blank page problem, as there might be some other issue involved.

[OPs answer moved from the question]

Just adjusting \glsdescwidth doesn't help, because you will have to readjust when your longest entry changes. So use a custom glossaries style instead:

\newlength{\glstargetwidth}%
\newlength{\glshspace}%

\newglossarystyle{mylong}{%
% put the glossary in the longtable environment:
\renewenvironment{theglossary}{%
\setlength{\glstargetwidth}{0.29\textwidth}%
\setlength{\glshspace}{0.02\textwidth}%
\setlength{\glsdescwidth}{0.69\textwidth}%
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt}%
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{12pt}%
\begin{longtable}%
{p{\glstargetwidth} @{\hspace{\glshspace}}  p{\glsdescwidth}}}%
{\end{longtable}}%
% have nothing after \begin{theglossary}:
\renewcommand*{\glossaryheader}{}%
% have nothing between glossary groups:
\renewcommand*{\glsgroupheading}[1]{}%
\renewcommand*{\glsgroupskip}{}%
% set how each entry should appear:
\renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
\raggedright\strong{\glstarget{##1}{##2}}% the entry name
##4% the symbol 
&##3,% the description
\space ##5% the number list 
\\
}%
% set how sub-entries appear:
\renewcommand*{\glossarysubentryfield}[6]{%
\glossaryentryfield{##2}{##3}{##4}{##5}{##6}}%
}
\renewcommand*{\glstextformat}[1]{\textcolor{black}{#1}}

\glossarystyle{mylong}

This will fix the width of your entry column, breaking the entry names when necesary.

Your revised MWE examples works fine. For me it produces on the first page:

and on the following page:

So the problem is in how you process the file. I personally use TeXShop and a script similar to that recently posted at: makeglossaries hangs waiting for input on mac. For adapting latekmk you should refer to How to make Latexmk use makeglossaries?
