[Tex/LaTex] Two separate acronym list using package glossaries

glossariessubdividing

I want to create two separate acronym list.
One with 3 columns and the other with four columns. I have defined the two styles for the two types of acronym list, style1 and style2.

I have my acronym files INP-00-glossary.tex and INP-01-glossary.tex

How can I print two separate list of acronyms on separate pages?

EDIT:

The two lists I need are like following:
List 1: (Which I call Nomenclature) This list consists of all the mathematical symbols that I have used. For example

**Nomenclature** 
**Symbol     Description     Units       First used on Page No.** 

T            Temperature      K                    5

I have second list which is like following 

**Abbreviations** 
**Term     Description                First used on Page No.** 

MD          molecular dynamics                       7

The Nomenclature I have defined as \acronym. For example

\newacronym[user1={K}]{T}{\textit{T}}{temperature}

The Abbreviations I have defined as Glossaries. For example 

\newglossaryentry{md}
{
  name={MD},
  description={molecular dynamics},
}

Now When I refer to \gls{T}. it expands on first occurrence and puts the symbol T in parenthesis. But when I refer to \gls{md}, it only writes MD. I want it like the first list I have created, both expansion and abbreviation in parenthesis.

So I wanted both the list to be defined as acronyms.

Best Answer

This is the right way.

I added \glsaddall simply to add all entries in the lists.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{glossaries}

\newglossary[nlg]{nomenc}{not}{ntn}{Nomenclature}
\newglossary[slg]{abbrev}{sot}{stn}{Abbreviations}

% Your custom styles here
% \newglossarystyle{style1}{.....}
% \newglossarystyle{style2}{.....}

\makeglossaries

\loadglsentries[nomenc]{INP-00-glossary}
\loadglsentries[abbrev]{INP-01-glossary}

\begin{document}

\glsaddall

\printglossary[style=style1,type=nomenc]
\printglossary[style=style2,type=abbrev]

\end{document}

EDIT

If you have the need to load the glossaries package with the option acronym

\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}

then you can use this workaround to load your database with acronyms: substitute the line

\loadglsentries[nomenc]{INP-00-glossary}

with

\let\oldacronymtype\acronymtype
\def\acronymtype{nomenc}
\loadglsentries[nomenc]{INP-00-glossary}
\let\acronymtype\oldacronymtype

EDIT2

To solve your issue with \gls{md}, you should define the first key, which determines how the glossary entry is printed the first time it is used (it is automatic for acronyms, but not for common glossary entries).

This means that you have to rewrite your entry as:

\newglossaryentry{md}
{
  name={MD},
  description={molecular dynamics},
  first={\glsentrydesc{md} (\glsentrytext{md})}
}
