Bug Tracker

I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

ID	140🔗
Date:	2020-01-16 19:30:18
Status	Closed (Not a Bug)
Category	glossaries-extra
Version	v1.41
Summary	long-short-sc style ⇒ `\acrlong` in small caps

Description

If long-short-sc style is used, \acrlong (and long part of \acrfull) is, in the text, typeset in small caps instead of normal font (no problem in the glossary).

Evaluation

The \acrshort, \acrlong and \acrfull commands are for the original acronym mechanism of the base glossaries package. The glossaries-extra package has new commands that are designed to work with the new abbreviation mechanism: \glsxtrshort, \glsxtrlong and \glsxtrfull. Example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage{glossaries-extra}
\makeglossaries%
\setabbreviationstyle[acronym]{long-short-sc}
\newacronym{laser}{laser}{light amplification by stimulated
  emission of radiation}
%
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item \gls{laser}
\item \acrshort{laser} vs \glsxtrshort{laser}
\item \acrlong{laser} vs \glsxtrlong{laser}
\item \acrfull{laser} vs \glsxtrfull{laser}
\end{itemize}
\printglossary
\end{document}

Ooops, sorry for the noise! I'm a bit lost between the two packages.

As I said, I would dream of a glossaries2 package, with the features of glossaries-extra but without the longish and confusing "xtr" (in fact, each time a user is facing a macro name containing "xtr", he has to mentally remove this string in order to figure out what this command is supposed to do).

Many thanks, anyway!
