Hi,
If you look in this XSL:
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/xsl/xslhtml/dita2htmlImpl.xsl
it contains a template called:
Code: Select all
<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class,' topic/term ')]" name="topic.term">....
That template contains 2 variables called:
Code: Select all
<xsl:variable name="displaytext">....
which is the link text and:
Code: Select all
<xsl:variable name="hovertext">....
which is the tooltip which appears on such a link.
The "hovertext" seems to look mostly at
glossSurfaceForm so if your glossentry has a content like:
Code: Select all
<glossentry id="glossentry_5ym_llv_4f">
<glossterm>Data Definition Language</glossterm>
<glossBody>
<glossSurfaceForm>THE SURFACE FORM</glossSurfaceForm>
</glossBody>
</glossentry>
Then the hovertext tooltip will be computed to be
THE SURFACE FORM.
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os ... urfaceForm
But the "displaytext" variable also prefers the surface form if the term keyref is the first keyref in the topic.
The idea would be that on the first encounter the surface form is displayed on a link and then on previous references to the key the acronym (<glossterm>) is used instead.
I think that you can make some modifications in the "displaytext" to only show the acronym.
The general idea behind the behavior of acronyms in DITA is explained here:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/do ... cronym.pdf
but not everything is implemented properly in the DITA Open Toolkit so you should also check how publishing works in PDF for example.

Radu
