Glossary
The DITA Glossary topic provides a single term and its associated definition, enabling users to get an explanation of unfamiliar terminology. The topic can also provide additional information about the term. If a term has multiple definitions, you should create a separate DITA Glossary topic for each definition.
A Glossary contains the following primary tags:
• glossentry — Contains all of the other tags
• glossterm — The term
• glossdef — The definition
• prolog — Various types of metadata about the topic, such as author, copyright, index terms, and so forth
• glossBody — Provides additional information about the term
The glossBody tag contains several other tags that enable you to provide additional information about the term, such as the part of speech, its usage, variants of the term, and so forth.
• related-links — Cross reference links to related terms
Most of these tags are optional, so you only use the ones you need to author the topic.
