Using the glossaries package, I'v implemented a combined glossary and acronym list as described here. This works fine:
\newcommand{\agls}[4]{
\newglossaryentry{#1}{
text={#2},
long={#3},
name={\glsentrylong{#1} (\glsentrytext{#1})},
first={\glsentryname{#1}},
firstplural={\glsentrylong{#1}\glspluralsuffix (\glsentryname{#1}\glspluralsuffix )},
description={#4}
}
}
\agls{a:bim}{BIM}{Building Information Modeling}{3D Something}
I soon noticed that most of my glossary descriptions end with See \cref{sec:myLabel}. That's why I tried to modify it like this:
\newcommand{\agls}[5][]{
\newglossaryentry{#2}{
text={#3},
long={#4},
name={\glsentrylong{#2} (\glsentrytext{#2})},
first={\glsentryname{#2}},
firstplural={\glsentrylong{#2}\glspluralsuffix (\glsentryname{#2}\glspluralsuffix )},
description={#5. See \cref{#1}}
}
}
\agls[subsec:bim]{a:bim}{BIM}{Building Information Modeling}{3D Something}
(Never mind the broken reference if the optional argument is omitted, I'll fix this later with \ifthenelse)
However, this leads to errors:
Argument of \@cref@stack@top has an extra }. \glsXpageXglsnumberformat{}{17}}}
Paragraph ended before \@cref@stack@top was complete. \glsXpageXglsnumberformat{}{17}}}
I appears Latex is confused by the several closing curly brackets. I already tried moving the call to a seperate command but it didn't change anything:
\newcommand{\lref}[1][]{See \cref{#1}}
... description={#5. \lref[#1]} ...
How can I fix this?
Update: I just noticed that I could just as well use
\newcommand{\see}[1]{Siehe \cref{#1}}
\agls{a:bim}{BIM}{Building Information Modeling}{3D Something \see{subsec:bim}}
...and that probably what I'll do for the time being. An easy fix would still be appreciated if it's available.
