Gallery: Mixed Glossary with Emphasis
\gls) is emphasized completely for regular terms and partially for abbreviations (only the long form is emphasized not the short form). The full form for abbreviations aren’t emphasized nor is there any emphasis in the glossary.
A far simpler method can be obtained with glossaries-extra. See Mixed Glossary with Emphasis (glossaries-extra.sty).
This example requires defining a new acronym style, which I’ve labelled
long-short-emph:
\newacronymstyle{long-short-emph}%
{%
\ifglshaslong{\glslabel}%
{% acronym
% This is an adaptation of \glsgenacfmt
\ifdefempty\glscustomtext
{%
\ifglsused\glslabel
{%
\glsifplural
{%
\glscapscase
{%
\acronymfont{\glsentryshortpl{\glslabel}}\glsinsert
}%
{%
\acronymfont{\Glsentryshortpl{\glslabel}}\glsinsert
}%
{%
\mfirstucMakeUppercase
{\acronymfont{\glsentryshortpl{\glslabel}}\glsinsert}%
}%
}%
{%
\glscapscase
{%
\acronymfont{\glsentryshort{\glslabel}}\glsinsert
}%
{%
\acronymfont{\Glsentryshort{\glslabel}}\glsinsert
}%
{%
\mfirstucMakeUppercase
{\acronymfont{\glsentryshort{\glslabel}}\glsinsert}%
}%
}%
}%
{%
\glsifplural
{%
\glscapscase
{%
\emph{\glsentrylongpl{\glslabel}\glsinsert}\space
(\firstacronymfont{\glsentryshortpl{\glslabel}})%
}%
{%
\emph{\Glsentrylongpl{\glslabel}{\glsinsert}}\space
(\firstacronymfont{\glsentryshortpl{\glslabel}})%
}%
{%
\mfirstucMakeUppercase
{\emph{\glsentrylongpl{\glslabel}{\glsinsert}}\space
(\firstacronymfont{\glsentryshortpl{\glslabel}})}%
}%
}%
{%
\glscapscase
{%
\emph{\glsentrylong{\glslabel}\glsinsert}\space
(\firstacronymfont{\glsentryshort{\glslabel}})%
}%
{%
\emph{\Glsentrylong{\glslabel}\glsinsert}\space
(\firstacronymfont{\glsentryshort{\glslabel}})%
}%
{%
\mfirstucMakeUppercase
{\emph{\glsentrylong{\glslabel}\glsinsert}\space
(\firstacronymfont{\glsentryshort{\glslabel}})}%
}%
}%
}%
}%
{%
\glscustomtext
}%
}%
{% regular term
\ifglsused{\glslabel}{\glsgenentryfmt}{\emph{\glsgenentryfmt}}%
}%
}%
{%
\GlsUseAcrStyleDefs{long-short}%
}
Note that the full form used by
\acrfull doesn’t emphasize the long form. The style
checks if the entry is an acronym using \ifglshaslong.
You can, of course, make this example style more generic by defining a formatting command, such as:
\newcommand*{\firstformat}[1]{\emph{#1}}
and then use that command instead of \emph in the style
definition.
Note that if you want the emphasis to also apply to the abbreviation
as well as the long form, then the second argument of
\newacronymstyle is much simpler:
\ifglsused{\glslabel}%
{\ifglshaslong{\glslabel}{\glsgenacfmt}{\glsgenentryfmt}}%
{\emph{\ifglshaslong{\glslabel}{\glsgenacfmt}{\glsgenentryfmt}}}%

This document loads the hyperref package, which
creates hyperlinks from the entries in the document (referenced
using commands like \gls) to their definition in the
glossary. These hyperlinks are displayed in red text.
The entries have all been defined in the files example-glossaries-brief.tex and example-glossaries-acronym.tex, which you should find installed in the same location as the glossaries package (or in a sub-directory called test-entries). I’ve only used a subset of these entries within the document.
If you don’t use arara, you need to run the following commands:
pdflatex mixed-glossary-emph makeglossaries mixed-glossary-emph pdflatex mixed-glossary-emph
(See Incorporating makeglossaries or makeglossaries-lite or bib2gls into the document build.)
I’ve used the toc option to add the glossary to the
table of contents. The entries all have a “1” after the description.
This is the page number on which the entry was referenced. In this
sample document all the entries were referenced on page 1. If you don’t want these numbers you can use the nonumberlist option.
