Re: DOCBOOK: Re: Question about glossaries

[Giuseppe Greco <giuseppe.greco@bluewin.ch>]

A suggestion would be to render glossary entries with
acronym like this:

<dt><a name="pxe"></a>PXE</dt>
<dd><p>
  <b>Preboot eXecution Environment. </b>
  A standard developed by Intel to boot and install operating
  systems over a network.
</p></dd>


... and glossary entries without acronym like this:

<dt><a name="client"></a>Client</dt>
<dd><p>
   A computer system or process that requests a service of another
   computer system or process (a server) using some kind of protocol
   and accepts the server's responses. A client is part of a
   client-server software architecture.
</p></dd>

What do you think about it?
