Self on Help

Eclipse Help as a Model

In thinking about what a standalone (as in "not embedded UA")  Help system generated from DITA source should look like, and what features it might have, Eclipse Help keeps cropping up.

Glossary in DITA

Hello All,

When I add the glossary and generate a PDF of the BookMap, the glossary term and definition does not appear distinctly. They appear similar to the rest of the content in the document.

Further, if a glossary term has more than one definition, how can we add this to the glossary topic? Should we create separate glossary topics for each such definition?

Can anyone suggest a different way of adding glossary to the BookMap or advise what I could do to rectify this issue?

Regards
