Topic Term is Different to Glossary Term

In a topic, you may have text that needs to refer to the glossary, but it does not match the glossary term. For example, you could have "configurable" in your topic, but you want it to reference a "Configure" glossary term.

There are two different ways to create this type of glossary reference:

  • Reference Glossary Entry by XML ID - If you have translations or are going to translate your content in the future, you should use references by xml:id.

  • Reference with Baseform and Term Name - This is only suitable if your content is only going to be written and published in one language. If you have translations, this technique will only work on the source language.
