> 15 Converting to DITA XML > 15.9 Configuring DITA topics > 15.9.1 Designating starting points for DITA topics > 15.9.1.2 Identifying the starting element for glossary topics
For glossary
topics
(DITA version 1.1+ only), the required starting element is <glossterm>
.
Unless the default topic type is glossary
,
you must tell Mif2Go that the topic start is the paragraph format
mapped to glossterm
in [DITAParaTags]
.
You do not have to specify parents for glossary
elements, because <glossterm>
and <glossdef>
can have only <glossentry>
as parent;
and you do not have to specify an element level for the format mapped
to glossterm
, because it will always be level
1.
If the glossary for your document is in a separate
FrameMaker file, not mixed with other types of topics, create a file-specific
configuration file glossfile
.ini
,
and include in it the following setting:
See §15.9.2.2 Specifying a default DITA topic type.
Setting the default topic type to glossary
tells Mif2Go that the topics in the current file start with
the paragraph format mapped to glossterm
in
[DITAParaTags]
:
See §15.4.3 Mapping paragraph formats to DITA block elements.
Glossary mixed with other topics
If the glossary for your document is in a FrameMaker
file that includes other topic types, you must make the starting paragraph
format for the glossary topic different from the starting formats for
all other topic types in the file; and you must assign topic type glossary
to that format in [DITATopics]
. For example:
; Every GlossaryTerm paragraph begins a glossary topic:
; Every glossary topic begins with a <glossterm> element:
