Display entries in a grid

[alex289]

Hi there, I was wondering if it was possible to print the entries in a grid like way. From the advanved documentation I didnt get it working.

For example I currently have this setup and want to make all explanations start at the red line.

The code I used to display it like this is:

#import "@preview/glossarium:0.5.2": register-glossary, print-glossary, gls, glspl
#import "../acronyms.typ": acronyms

#heading(outlined: false, numbering: none)[Abkürzungsverzeichnis]

#register-glossary(acronyms)

#let __has_attribute(entry, key) = {
  let attr = entry.at(key, default: "")
  return attr != "" and attr != []
}

#let has-long(entry) = __has_attribute(entry, "long")
  
#let my-print-title(entry) = {
  let caption = []
  let txt = text.with(weight: 600)
  
  if has-long(entry) {
    caption += txt(emph(entry.short)) + [ #h(20pt) ] + entry.long
  } else {
    caption += txt(emph(entry.short))
  }
  return caption
}

#print-glossary(
 acronyms,
 disable-back-references: true,
 user-print-title: my-print-title
)

Is there any way to make this work 🙂

Hello @alex289, this is rather similar to

My best advice is to adapt the code to your needs
If you find yourself with technical issues, I'll try my best to help

In any case, for grid-like output, it's best to override user-print-glossary, because you can control entries and groups, that is you write the loop to generate the whole glossary
