Profiling/Conditioning and glossaries
Hi there:
We have two output types: PDF and WebHelp. After much wrestling I've gotten output so that I'm happy with it (not nearly as easy to create a glossary as it is to create an index). Anyway, for the two output types I'd like to handle the terms differently.
For webhelp output, I want to mark ever instance of a term for the glossary, so that you can access the definition from every instance.
For the PDF output, I'd want it to be more sporadic than that (probably first instance in the document as a whole). The glossary is a list at the back they can reference for any word they don't understand.
So, my question is whether there's a way to attach conditioning to the <term>, not the text that's marked as <term>. If I condition the <term> for webhelp output, the word disappears from the PDF text. I want the word in the document, just not the link to the glossary. I'd like to avoid having two instances of the word itself (one conditioned for PDF, one for WebHelp), if possible.
Thanks,

Hello Stacey,
Is it possible for you to provide a small sample containing the problem?
We just need a ditamap (or bookmap), one topic refering the term and the glossary.
You can send all at support@oxygenxml.com.

Julien
