Glossary list to be automatically populated

Post by mh3467 »

Hi Oxygen,

I would like to know if it's possible to automatically populate glossary entries during PDF or HTML publishing. I use <abbreviated-form keyref=""> consistently for glossary references in topics, but I also need to include <topicref> to point to glossary key definitions. What I hope to see is, when I publish a map, all glossary references will be pulled from various key definitions automatically, and rendered/published together at the end of PDF or HTML structure. And I don't have to manually include the <topicref>s to the glossary key definitions.

This could also prevent the problems that glossary entries will not show up if they are not included in the root/book map.

Thanks.
Heng

Hi Heng,

Sorry but there is no such possibility.
Maybe you can define the keys for each glossentry reference directly on the topicref which also links it in the table of contents.
