Re: [docbook] glossary expansion

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Sure it is possible, I'm just not sure how easy it would be.  You would 
need to create an identity XSL stylesheet, which copies everything unless 
otherwise specified.

Then you would need to copy and adapt several templates from glossary.xsl 
in the various modes for auto glossary.  You would need a template with 
match="glossary" to start the process, and then call something like 
make-auto-glossary, but simpler.  At the point where it formats a 
glossentry from the collection, you just use xsl:copy-of instead.
