% For use with \usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}.
%
% \input this file after you have defined your own acronyms (but why not
% add your own acronyms here?). It will define any acronyms that you have
% yet defined yourself (acronyms will not be over-written). The acronym
% key will be equal to the actual acronym, e.g. \gls{ARTS}.
%
% You don't need to include an actual glossary to use those acronyms; the
% package takes care of the first usage \gls{ABC} being expanded. See
% 'texdoc glossaries' for more info.
%
% If you do include a glossary (table of acronyms), only those acronyms
% that are actually used will be included.
