Hey I want to wirte an acronym in capital letters without showing the full form. How can I do this?

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt]{article}

\usepackage[english,italian,german]{babel}

\usepackage{acronym}

\begin{document}
\begin{acronym}[Bash]
\acro{eq.}{equation}
\end{acronym}
\acs{eq.} should be written with a capital E. 
\end{document}

  • Welcome to the site. Are you really using this for acronyms? Or merely for case-sensitive abbreviations (and maybe \referencing)? If the latter, maybe something like https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/103546/how-do-i-configure-a-ref-of-a-label-to-print-more-than-just-the-number/103553#103553 could be used... – Steven B.

  • I want to use the abbreviation at the beginning of the sentence. How can I get the first letter capitalized? If it's in the middle of the sentence the abbreviation should be in small letters. Is there a way to do it with acronyms? – Elia Apr 03 '20 at 17:46
  • My point is, "eq." is not an acronym, but an abbreviation. So, might you be using the wrong tool altogether? – Steven B. Segletes Apr 03 '20 at 17:49
  • I see your point thank you for the suggestion ... but what would you use for abbreviations and link them to a glossary? – Elia Apr 03 '20 at 18:03

    As far as I can see the acronym package has no macros to capitalise the first letter of the short form of the acronym. (It does have commands that capitalise the long from: \Acf for example.) Presumably because most acronyms are capitalised already (in short form). You can always open a feature request at: https://github.com/oetiker/acronym/issues – moewe Apr 03 '20 at 18:21

    There are also the acro package and glossaries maybe those packages have the option you want. – moewe Apr 03 '20 at 18:25
