The glossary element represents a glossary, pronunciation guide or other section that exclusively defines terms or phrases. The Section variant is an adaptation for use including terms and definitions that have been grouped as a separate section in a work, and where the glossary contains structured groups of entries by topic, letter of the alphabet, etc. The republishing of documents often requires the insertion of content that was not a part of the original source document. For example, in the case of indexes, bibliographies and other ordered sections, this requirement may take the form of placeholder sections to mark gaps in the alphabetic list of entries. To indicate that an element presents content that is a deviation from the source, the role attribute can be used with the value custom. No behaviors are defined for how a processing agent should handle sections so identified, however.
The glossary element represents a glossary, pronunciation guide or other section that exclusively defines terms or phrases. The Block variant is an adaptation for use including terms and definitions that have been grouped within the body of a work.
The glossary section element represents a major structural division in a glossary . The glossary section element is a specialization of the section element. It provides a content model to fit the unique requirements of glossary divisions.
The glossary entry element represents a single unique entry in a glossary . A glossary entry must contain one or more term elements and either one or more definition elements or one or more ref elements pointing to a definition. To facilitate the markup of glossaries, if an entry contains exactly one term and one definition an implicit association is assumed between them (i.e., the normal requirement to explicitly link the term to the definition by the ref attribute does not apply). If the entry contains mutliple term or definition elements, then the explicit association of each is required. Each entry element must contain at least one term element. Each entry element must contain at least one definition or ref element. Each {term} element must explicitly reference its {definition}(s) when more than one {term} or {definition} are included in the {entry}.Each entry element must contain at least one definition or reference to a definition. The entry element must neither be empty nor contain only whitespace.
