I want to vertically align the list of abbreviations following this link Glossaries: vertical aligment of acronyms' long names. I like the second method of the answer "Description List Method", so I tried with the following example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage[xindy={glsnumbers=false}, acronym, nogroupskip, nonumberlist, nopostdot]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newacronym{ny}{NY}{New York}
\newacronym{cpu}{CPU}{Central Processing Unit}
\newacronym{jpeg}{JPEG}{Joint Photographic Experts Group}
\begin{document}
\glsaddall
\setlist[description]{leftmargin=!, labelwidth=3em}
\printacronyms
\setlist[description]{style=standard}
\end{document}
But I got an error saying something wrong with the command \setlist[description]:
