通过手动输入创建缩写列表

Question

如果我想手动添加缩写而不是先在文件中标记每个缩写（文件已写入），我该如何创建缩写列表？

Answer 1

一个简单的类似表格的环境？

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable}

\newcommand\nomenclature[2]{#1 & #2 \\}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}{@{}p{1cm}@{}p{\dimexpr\textwidth-1cm\relax}@{}}
\nomenclature{$a$}{The number of angels per unit area}%
\nomenclature{$N$}{The number of angels per needle point}%
\nomenclature{$A$}{The area of the needle point}%
\nomenclature{$\sigma$}{The total mass of angels per unit area}%
\nomenclature{$m$}{The mass of one angel}
\end{longtable}

\end{document}
