customize glossaries

Question

I am using the glossaries package and wonder if it is possible to customize the appearance of the output. For example I want to make the spaces between the entries smaller or changing the style of the page and line numbers (from 6-20 to 6.20). There is nothing to be found in the manual on such things.

In the header I have:

    \usepackage{glossaries}
    \makenoidxglossaries
    \newglossaryentry{entry}{name={entry},description={Bla Bla Bla}}

and in the document I am using:

bla bla \edgls{entry} bla bla

Answer 1

It is possible to set the appearance via \setglossarystyle{<style>} But I would like to change the spacing by hand.

Answer 2

There are some good answers here on spacing and glossary style and more documentation on the glossaries package and usage here.

The pagestyle and linespacing are not controlled by the glossaries, that is dependent on what you have those set to separately.
