Webhelp Responsive - Trouble Overriding Glossentry Handling

Title says it.
I need to override the default handling of glossentries on a map and build a 2-column HTML table with a header row ("Term" | "Definition") and each glossterm/glossdef pair as a row. I have no problem writing the xslt to build the table, but the WHR output ignores my templates, and I'm at a loss as to how to modify the default handling (within org.dita.html5) to achieve my results.
Thanks in advance for your assistance. - Greg

Hi Greg,

This behavior is inherited from the html5 plugin and isn't modified by the webhelp-responsive plugin, I think the best solution for this is to directly ask the DITA Users Group. Maybe a similar customization has been made in the past.
The idea is you need to override the whole process generating the glossentry as it is processed by the generic topic.xsl stylesheet.

Regards,
Julien
