[Tex/LaTex] Separate the list of acronyms in the glossary (glossaries)

acronymsglossaries

In my thesis I would like to enter a list of acronyms and a glossary. I'm trying to do with the package glossaries. However, I meet a problem in separating the first from the second. If I use the option acronym for the glossaries package, I get the following error message is (which by the way does not seem to cover package glossaries):

\tf@toc=\write14 \openout14 = `TESI.toc'.

\tf@lof=\write15 \openout15 = `TESI.lof'.

! No room for a new \write . \alloc@ …else \errmessage {No room for
a new #2} \fi \fi l.147 \end{document}

This error message was generated by an \errmessage command, so I can't
give any explicit help. Pretend that you're Hercule Poirot: Examine
all clues, and deduce the truth by order and method.

! Missing number, treated as zero. \tf@lot l.147
\end{document}

A number should have been here; I inserted 0'. (If you can't figure
out why I needed to see a number, look upweird error' in the index
to The TeXbook.)

\openout0 = `.tex'.

You can reproduce this result without using the option acronym? From the documentation it seems to me that you understand that we can do, but I did not succeed even after several attempts.

Best Answer

Yes, you can.

Just load the glossaries package as

\usepackage[toc]{glossaries}

and then write

\renewcommand*{\acronymtype}{acronym}
\newglossary[alg]{acronym}{acr}{acn}{\acronymname}

Thus, if you rewrite your example as:

% arara: pdflatex: {synctex: yes}
% arara: makeglossaries
% arara: pdflatex: {synctex: yes}
% arara: pdflatex: {synctex: yes}
% arara: pdflatex: {synctex: yes}
% !TEX program = pdflatex

\end{document}

you will have

enter image description here

i.e. the same result as in your example but without the option acronym.

Anyway I can't figure why you want to do that.
