Adding a feature to the acronym package

I am trying to add four specific features to the acronym package and plug it into Overleaf:




  1. acrounlisted - creates an unlisted acronym, which would be treated like an acronym (in that the first time it's used it would define it and then just use the acronym after that), but it wouldn't appear in the List of Acronyms.

  2. acfirstuc - Makes the first word in the definition uppercase iff it has not yet be used--otherwise, it's just ac.

  3. acalluc - Makes each word in the full definition upper case (e.g., if ac{ods} expands to oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS), then acalluc would expand to Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS)).

  4. aclc - Makes each word in the full definition lower case (e.g., if ac{ods} expands to Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS), then aclc{ods} would be oxide dispersion strengthened (ods)).


I have specific reasons for this in my thesis. I realize that unlisted would cause some problems with the link that is generated to between the acronym and the list of acronyms, so that should probably be stripped out, too.



The problem is that I'm a little bit new to LaTeX, and anything I try irreparably breaks the package. I'm using the acronym.sty file from the TDS archive on CTAN, and using RequirePackage{} to bring in a renamed version of the .sty into my project's class file. I was trying to use lowercase and capitalizewords from mfirstuc. I don't know how to just capitalize the very first letter (and if it's terribly difficult, I will leave that one off), or how to properly implement these.



Is anybody willing to take a look and give me some pointers on how to modify this thing?

          A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

          Image
          0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
