Subject: [docbook-apps] to get
glossseealso to work for auto-glossary
Hi,
I tried to get glossseealso, i.e. the internal links to work when
generating an auto-glossary. The problem is of course that the glossterms in
the text are pulling in the according glossentries, but the glosssealso -
links will then partly not work since for some of them there are no
glossentries pulled in. This problem is stated in Bob Staytons book:
under
"Links in a glossary collection", the second point.
There, a link to a workaround for that is given:
This workaround does not work, since the schema forbids to put a
glossterm in a remark. So the suggested code seems to be wrong:
<glossary role="auto">
<remark>Make sure there's a reference to <glossterm>gloss-2</glossterm>.</remark>
<glossentry>
<glossterm>Irrelevant</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>If you can see this, the document was processed incorrectly. Use
the <parameter>glossary.collection</parameter> parameter.</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
</glossary>
This entry seems to be written for DocBook 4, since there is the
placeholder glossentry in it, which is not necessary anymore.
I just wanted to make note of it, probably someone fixes the
docu.
