Glossary

You can include a glossary in an article, book, and book part by setting the glossary style on a section.

Glossary section syntax

The glossary section is defined as a level 1 section (==) when:

  • the doctype is article

  • the doctype is book and the book doesn’t contain any parts

  • the glossary is for a book part

== Terminology

If the book has parts, and the glossary is for the whole book, the section is defined as a level 0 section (=).
