An Acronym Environment for LaTeX

INSTALLATION:

• call 'latex acronym.ins' and copy the acronym.sty - file into a path searched by LaTeX.
• to re-generate the documentation, call latex acronym.dtx

While writing a paper on cellular mobile radio I had to used a lot of acronyms. Acronyms can be quite disturbing for the novice reader ...

The Acronym package provides tooling to make sure that all acronyms used in the text are spelled out in full at least once and it provides an environment to keep a list of used acronyms.

Note that acronym requires the 'suffix' package. You can find it on CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/bigfoot/

Files of the `acronym' package: README This file acronym.dtx Sourcecode, example file & documentation acronym.ins Installation script generating the source and an example acronym.pdf PDF Version of the Docs CHANGES list of changes
