Title: Glossary Improvements
Post by: michael_rainwater on April 04, 2005, 08:54:19 am

I have some suggestions that would make the glossary much more useful:

1) Automatically create a link from any term in the glossary with a pop-up that shows definition.  This would allow terms to be explained as you read the model and create simple navigation.

2) Same thing, but in the HTML documentation output.  This one might be easier because it is functionality provided in HTML.

3) Add a default bookmark in the RTF output so I can include the Glossary when using a master document.  The bookmarks in RTF are great, and the master document concept is very powerful.  But the Glossary is not bookmarked. :-(

If I had to choose, I would select #2 & #3 above and delay #1 (in the tool) due to complexity.

Thanks

Item 1 should be easier (possible) when the notes become RTF.

I also need the Issues & Tasks to be bookmarked in the RTF output.  I am currently opening the RTF and doing this manually so I can bring these sections into my master document easily.

But some fixed bookmarks (Glossary, Issues, Tasks) would be very helpful in the RTF.

Is there a way I can do this myself by messing with the RTF templates??

Thanks

Maybe. But the RTF Tag Masters are out for lunch ;D
