Description

This whitepaper describes the improved glossary and terminology handling features in DITA 1.2. A new glossary entry element provides a flexible semantic structure to store terminology information, and the new indirect linking functionality allows terms occurring it the content to be linked through a key reference, or transcluded using a new abbreviated-form element. Keys used for key referencing are defined in a new glossref specialisation of topicref in the map. (DITA source including graphics, zipped)
