Auto generating acronym list

Post by EBergman »

Hi! I have a big collection of manuals where certain terms and acronyms are present in some, but not all, documents. Now I have created a huge glossary file but I only want relevant entries to appear in the output. It would be really nice to be able to auto-generate an acronym list depending on what terms are present in the document. Can this be done with the Glossaries function in Flare?

Hi,

I don't think that Flare has the functionality you request. Still, I assume that for web-based outputs it might help to select "Convert first occurence of term" or "Convert all occurences of term", and remove all summaries of glossary entries (i.e. glossary proxies or tabs). I found glossary handling in Flare a lot more comfortable than in DocToHelp.
Kind regards,
