Gallery (glossaries-extra): Abbreviation Styles

This example illustrates all the abbreviation styles provided by v1.04 of the glossaries-extra package. Some of these styles aren't available for earlier versions. Make sure you have an up-to-date version of the glossaries package as well.

Note that there is a bug involved in the combined use of the "postfootnote" and "long-em" styles in glossaries-extra v1.04 which has been corrected in v1.05. The bug in the "short-em-long" style has also been corrected.

The initial comment lines below are arara directives. You can remove them if you don't use arara.

There's an updated version of this document supplied with glossaries-extra version 1.17, which includes new styles not shown here (sample-abbr-styles.tex, sample-abbr-styles.pdf).

If you don't use arara, you need to run the following commands:
