Use list of ABBREVIATIONS as table in latex

Question

I found it hard to produce such a table in ABBREVIATIONS, is there any suggestions? like this

Unless you want to generate the abbreviation automatically from the name? (note: may not be a good idea anyway in case the abbreviation does not make complete sense) — user202729, Nov 06 '21 at 17:26

Although for the style, using another style may be "better" --https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/492175/how-to-generate-list-of-abbreviations-in-latex — user202729, Nov 06 '21 at 17:31

Although I wouldn't recommend such a caged style for a list of acronyms, here is how you could achieve it using a combination of acro and nicematrix. Side note: This solution will only work properly if your list does not exceed the length of a single page.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\usepackage{acro}
\acsetup{use-id-as-short}
\DeclareAcronym{AA}{long = Alpha Acids}
\DeclareAcronym{ABV}{long = Alcohol By Volume}
\DeclareAcronym{DMS}{long = Dimethyl Sulfide}
\NewAcroTemplate[list]{customtable}
  {
    \acronymsmapF
      { \AcroAddRow{\acrowrite {short}&\acrowrite {list}\} }
      { \AcroRerun }

    \acroheading
    \acropreamble
    \par \noindent
    \begin{NiceTabularX}{\linewidth}{lX}[hvlines, cell-space-limits=3pt]
      \AcronymTable
    \end{NiceTabularX}
  }
\begin{document}
\acuseall
\printacronyms[sort=true, template=customtable]
\end{document}
