I suggest you add a container element to easily associate the definition with the term, though I ended up not needing the container as I thought I would.


is it possible to create a link between
the use of the acronym in the p element
and the term element in the glossary?

I think it would be fast and easy with key(), but that isn't implemented yet in XT so my suggestion below is a "slow" way.


I'm OK using generate-id() on the glossary term,
but I'm stuck on generating the <a href contents ....
I (think  I) need to
1. find the matching term  (with what construct?)

Content comparison.


2. then use generate-id(.)

An example is below ... I hope this helps.
