Unable to make acronyms in latex

Question

Hi I am trying to get acronyms in my document but I am continuously failing in doing that.

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\begin{document}
\mainmatter
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]
\include{ch1}
end{document}

and my acronym code is in the chapter file

\chapter{ch1}
\acrfull{WLAN} is used as a trial for my example and problem

\newacronym{wlan}{WLAN}{Wireless Local Area Network}

thanks for the reply. I am also defining this in small letters. What does second bracket means then? — Sanchit Jain, Nov 30 '22 at 10:48
Please stop editing your question to include additional questions! One post should only include one question and invalidating an existing answer is even worse! — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Nov 30 '22 at 11:06

You're defining the acronym wlan, but you are using the acronym WLAN. Decide on which of the two you want and the be consistent:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\begin{document}
\mainmatter
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]
\chapter{ch1}
\acrfull{WLAN} is used as a trial for my example and problem

\newacronym{WLAN}{WLAN}{Wireless Local Area Network}
\end{document}

is there any way to define the acronyms in separate file and then call them in some way – Sanchit Jain Nov 30 '22 at 10:51
