Sending Glossary Entries

Send glossary entries to [email protected].

Use the subject line “Glossary entry”. In the body of the message include the SGML for one or more entries marked up using DocBook 3.0 as shown in the following example:

<!DOCTYPE glossary PUBLIC "-//Davenport//DTD DocBook V3.0//EN">
<glossary>
<glossentry id="gloss-kendot">
<glossterm>kendot
<revhistory>
<revision>
<revnumber>1.0</revnumber>
<date>19970620</date>
<authorinitials>Tony Graham [email protected]</authorinitials>
</revision>
</revhistory>
</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>Emphasizing mark used in Japanese typography</para>
<glossseealso otherterm="gloss-emphasizing-mark">
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry>
<glossterm>kendot scoring</glossterm>
<glosssee otherterm="gloss-kendot">
</glossentry>
</glossary>

Include your name and email address in the <authorinitials> element
Glossary entries should have an ID that is “gloss-” prefixed to the term, with any spaces in the term replaced by hyphens, e.g. “gloss-kendot”
You can include more than one glossary entry in a single mail message
Use the “OtherTerm” attribute in <GlossSee> and <GlossSeeAlso> for other terms you want to reference, even if you don’t know if there is an entry for that term. If there are any broken links when I put together the SGML, I’ll just create an empty entry and add the term to the request list.
Graphics should be in TIFF or EPS formats only. Text in graphics should be 10pt Arial wherever possible.
