Hello,

You need to create a topic of type glossentry and link it from the topic that uses that glossary term. In the XHTML output of a DITA map there is a page for each topic so each topic of type glossentry will have a separate XHTML page. You can link from other topic to a topic of type glossentry with an element related-links, for example:

Code: Select all

 <related-links>

    <link href="../glossary/ddl.xml" format="dita" type="glossentry">

       <linktext>Data Definition Language</linktext>

    </link>

 </related-links>

The link to the Data Definition Language glossary entry is added in the section Related information of the topic that contains the link.

When editing a DITA map in the Author mode you add a topic reference to a glossentry topic with the action Insert a DITA Topic Reference available on the toolbar Author custom actions. In the Type comb box of the Insert Topic Reference dialog select the glossentry value.
