7.2.1.3 - glossmod1.dsys

to incorporate this module in your document, place this in the global styles:

 [include glossmod1.dsys] 

To emplace the glossary, place the page where it is to be generated somewhere towards, but not at, the end of the page sequence, then put this in the content area:

 {glossary} 

To create a glossary entry, place the following anywhere on any page:

 {gloss word|||explanation} 

Nothing appears in the text (so you can do it where ever you like, which makes it handy when you're working in context.)

Glossary entries are presented in case-insensitive alphabetic order.

Here's a sample (simple) glossary entry:

 {gloss Gloss|||To make something shiny} 

You can go look at the result here.

Here is some cool stuff you can do with just one  [hmap]  [translate]  sequence and a few simple styles:

[hmap hexlist]
[gstyle hexlab [translate hexlist,[b]]]
[gstyle glo {[split |||,[b]]gloss {name {hexlab [parm 0]}}[parm 0]|||[parm 1]}]
[gstyle g [a tab,glosspage.html#{hexlab [b]},[b]]]
[gstyle gl [a glosspage.html#{hexlab [b]},[b]]]

On the first page of your document, create the glossary entry like this:

 {glo myword|||my description of my word} 

Wherever you use the word, place it into context like this:

I say  {g myword}  whenever I want to.

...and if you want to put a glossary entry into context on the glossary page, do it this way:

I say  {gl myword}  whenever I want to.

These three styles will produce lovely glossary entries that are in context, and on normal pages,  {g myword}  will open a new tab scrolled right to that specific glossary entry; whereas use of  {gl myword}  in a glossary entry will just hop around on the page without opening a new tab.
