Description

A GlossDiv is a section of a Glossary. A Glossary might be divided into sections in order to group terms, perhaps alphabetically.

A Glossary may contain any number of GlossEntry or GlossDiv elements, but it cannot contain a mixture of both at the same level.

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block.

Parents

These elements contain GlossDiv: Glossary.

Attributes

Status

Status identifies the editorial or publication status of the GlossDiv.

Publication status might be used to control formatting (for example, printing a "draft" watermark on drafts) or processing (perhaps a document with a status of "final" should not include any components that are not final).

Examples

For examples, see Glossary.
