[Tex/LaTex] Suppressing page number in list of abbreviations in LaTeX report

acronymsglossariespage-numberingtwo-column

I have a LaTeX report as follows in a file called Main.tex:

documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}

\usepackage[acronym,nomain]{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\input{Glossary}

\input{ChapterX}
\input{ChapterY}
\input{ChapterZ}

\end{document}

And I'm trying to create a list of abbreviations from the file Glossary.tex which is imported into Main.tex.

Glossary.tex is simply:

\chapter*{List of abbreviations}
\newacronym{jdbc}{JDBC}{Java database connectivity}
\newacronym{jsp}{JSP}{Java server pages}
\newacronym{sql}{SQL}{Structured query language}
\printglossaries
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of abbreviations}

After doing this I am supposed to run this instruction at the Windows command line in the same folder as the LaTeX files:

makeglossaries main.tex

But what I do find is that the abbreviations display with page numbers like this;

JDBC Java database connectivity. 14

So how can I surppress the page numbers and is it possible to use two columns for the abbreviations?

Best Answer

The page number list can be suppressed using the nonumberlist package option.

\usepackage[acronym,nomain,nonumberlist]{glossaries}

For two columns, try one of the mcol glossary styles. For example:

\usepackage{glossary-mcols}
\setglossarystyle{mcolindex}
