Rather than putting the terms in a map, it would be nice to have them identified in a consistent location for processing. Glossref in glossarylist would do exactly that. As an example, each of our common terms are housed in a common directory. Today, we use a map with topicrefs that point to each of the terms. It works, but it is not the most intuitive for authors to create. Using glossref in a glossarylist makes the reference explicit and intuitive to author and to process. So why can't we put glossref in glossarylist? --Scott ïOn 10/7/19, 12:55 PM, "Kristen James Eberlein" <[email protected]> wrote: So, what are the implications for whether we integrate the glossary reference domain into bookmap ?
