Markup Glossary Terms not working?
« on: June 13, 2019, 09:04:35 pm »
Hi,
I have a glossary defined and am using the terms in my artifacts. In the model notes fields they are correctly highlighted by underlining.
I would like to highlight them in the generated documentation too - but cannot get this working.
> I have assigned Markup Styles to all of the glossary term types.
> I have also selected "Markup Glossary Terms" in the Generate Documentation dialogue.
However the terms remain in normal text in the resulting output.
Any thoughts on what may be wrong here? Has anyone else got this working?

(I note this similar question, but that was a few years ago and for EA 12: https://www.sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,26473.msg206638.html#msg206638)

OK, I think I have worked out the problem: the markup of glossary terms in documentation is case sensitive!

Most of my terms are in the body of the text were without initial capitals and all of my glossary terms were with initial capitals - so generally the case sensitive markup did not match them. If I change the capitalisation to match the glossary then it works.

This is annoying as the markup within the tool is not case sensitive. Further the Glossary will not allow me to enter two terms with different capitalisation (it says "There is an existing glossary with the same name"!) so I cannot work around the problem that way either.

So I guess I will have to remember to capitalise any word I want to be marked up as a glossary item?

Oh - and submit a bug report...
