Glossary part of openETCS document template?

[BerndHekele]

Dear Jan,
if we are now proposing the glossary for our documents in the QA-plan, don't we need to update the template as well?

Dear Bernd,

you are right. But I wanted to wait with a concrete proposal until Izaskun gives me a feedback about the use.
The problem is that just changing the template is not enough, since this interactive glossary is only helpful if people reference glossary terms in their document.

What do you think. Shall we change the template or shall we wait until all supporting documents are finished?

[BerndHekele]

In the meantime I had a talk to Peter.
He did not like the idea too much.
His preference was to only load it when you use it.
Lets get more opinions before we change the template.

[janWelte]

I've to admit that this sounds reasonable. Especially under the circumstances that you have to actively use the glossary to include any term in the document.

[BerndHekele]

Maybe we can use some comments to switch on and off.
Do you have an example file where the glossary is used which is not too big to get lost inside?
