Glossary handling - Fluid Topics - Latest

In DITA, the <glossentry> topic type allows users to define a term, its definition, and its acronyms.

In Fluid Topics, hovering a <term> element referencing a <glossentry> reveals a tooltip with the definition of the glossary entry.

Selecting the <term> element either:

• Takes users to the topic, when <glossentry> topics are part of the same document.

• Shows a preview of the linked topic, when <glossentry> topics are part of a separate document.

  In this situation, the <term> element is a cross-document link.

The following table explains how Fluid Topics shows various glossary DITA elements:

DITA element	DITA element in Fluid Topics
<glossterm>	The content of <glossterm> appears as the title of the target topic.
<glossdef>	The content of <glossdef> appears as the content of the target topic and of the tooltip.
<glossSurfaceForm>	If used, the content of <glossSurfaceForm> appears as the text link in origin topics. If not used, the content of <glossterm> is the text link in origin topics.
