Re: glosslist inside glossdiv


/ Horacio <homega@ciberia.es> was heard to say:
| would it be possible to include a <glosslist> inside a <glossdiv>
| element?

A glosslist is just a wrapper around glossentry elements. Glossentry elements
are already allowed inside a glossdiv. Why do you want the additional wrapper?

| <glossdiv>
| <title><filename>File Name 1</filename></title>
| <glossentry>
| <glossterm>
| Short 4-5 word description of File Name 1
| </glossterm>
| <glossdef>
| <para>
| Longer description of File Name 1
| </para>
| </glossdef>
| 
| <glosslist>
| <glossentry>
| <glossterm>Configuration variable for File Name 1</glossterm>
| <glossdef>
| <para>Description of conf. var.</para>
| </glossdef>
| </glossentry>
| 
| <glossentry>
| <glossterm>Another conf. var. for File Name 1</glossterm>
| <glossdef>
| <para>Description of conf. var.</para>
| </glossdef>
| </glossentry>

This doesn't look like a glossary to me. It looks like you probably
want nested variablelists or something.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
