How to create a lookup list
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2016 1:17 pm
Hi
I want to add a list of terms to my document that can be used as a reference. The reason is I want top be able to replace these terms in one single reference file instead of find/replace all occurrences, find/replace in large documents can be precarious.
Preferably i would like to mark a word with a simple <term> tag. When the output is created the word should be replaced by the value in the list of terms. I know this is possible as I've seen it before, however I have to start from scratch and do not know how.
I've already build a working glossary, but this is not what I intend, the glossary is fine for terms that added to the document in a printed glossary. I want an external lookup that is not part of the document. Can someone provide me with an example that I can use?
