% Acronyms
% ========
%
% An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters in a phrase. 
%
% Acronym Definition Exapmle:
% ---------------------------
% \newacronym{gcd}{GCD}{Greatest Common Divisor}
% \newacronym{dry}{DRY}{Don't Repeat Yourself}
%
% Usage:
% ------
% You can use these three options:
% 
% \acrlong{}  
%   Displays the phrase which the acronyms stands for. Put the label of the acronym inside the braces. In the example, \acrlong{gcd} prints Greatest Common Divisor. 
%
% \acrshort{} 
%   Prints the acronym whose label is passed as parameter. For instance, \acrshort{gcd} renders as GCD. 
%
% \acrfull{ } 
%   Prints both, the acronym and its definition. In the example the output of \acrfull{dry} is Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY).
