Glossary Element

Description

The Glossary element represents an Author-it Glossary object, and contains all of its properties.

The Glossary object represents a Glossary of Terms in the printed and on-line documentation. It takes care of things like sorting the terms, help definition pop-ups, and how the Glossary will be represented in both printed and on-line documentation.

Any Topic objects placed one level below a Glossary object are considered to be a glossary term, and as such are alphabetically sorted. You may have additional levels, however only the topics on the first level are treated as glossary terms.

When glossary terms are published into a Word document, they are automatically assigned a heading style of "Heading 5" regardless of what you have entered in the Document Heading Style property. Also, super header and all section break information is ignored.
