Like a glossary in a book, your help volume can contain a
glossary that defines important terms. The glossary, which is marked
using the Glossary element, is the last topic in your help volume.
The glossary contains the definitions for all the terms that are
marked with the <GlossTerm> tag.
Glossary contains the following components in the following
order:
To Mark a Glossary Term |
 |
The GlossTerm tag is used to mark a term in the document text
that is glossed in the Glossary. Note that the GlossTerm element
is also used to contain those terms as they occur in GlossEntries
in the Glossary.
Each key word or phrase that you enter with the GlossTerm
element automatically becomes a link to the term's definition in
the Glossary.
To Define a Term in the Glossary |
|
Terms are defined in the Glossay by using the GlossEntry element.
A GlossEntry contains, in order, a required GlossTerm, an optional
Acronym, and an optional Abbrev, followed by any number of GlossSees
and GlossDefs, in any order.
GlossDef is the definition of a GlossTerm in a GlossEntry.
It may contain, in any order, Comments, GlossSeeAlsos, paragraphs,
and other block-oriented elements.
GlossDef has the Common attributes and also the Subject attribute.
The Subject attribute may hold a list of subject areas as keywords,
separated only by spaces.
