glossary problems...

I am having problems formatting a glossary. I need my glossary to have two columns with space between them.

The 1<sup>st</sup> column should have the acronym and the second column should have the meaning.

My current out put looks like this:

BRBS Be right back soon

LOL Laugh out loud

What I want is this:

BRBS Be right back soon

LOL Laugh out loud

The “Be right back soon, and Laugh out loud. Should be aligned left. I tried quadding with no avail.

glossDiv

 title B

 glossentry BRBS

 glossdef

para Be right back soon.

Does anyone have a suggestion or sample fosi code that might help?

My fosi looks like this:

<e-i-c gi="glossary">

<charlist charsubsetref="block" justified&quot;=">

<textbrk startpg="next" pageid="glossary.page" newpgmdl="global" htmltag="h1">

Nichole:

Looks like you want an alignment group or a "kernto" setup. If you
really mean two columns you probably need ALGROUP like this sample:

FROM DTD:


FROM FOSI:
<e-i-c gi="glosslist">
<charlist inherit="0">
<textbrk startln="1" endln="1">
</charlist>
</e-i-c>

<e-i-c gi="letter" context="glosslist" occur="all">
<charlist inherit="0">
<quadding quad="center">
<presp minimum="8pt" nominal="10pt" maximum="12pt">
<postsp minimum="6pt" nominal="6pt" maximum="6pt">
<keeps next="1">
<textbrk startln="1" endln="1">
</charlist>
<att>
<specval attname="editor-only" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY">
<charsubset>
<presp nominal="0.25in" condit="discard" priority="med">
</charsubset>
</att>
</e-i-c>


<e-i-c gi="term" context="glosslist">
<charlist>
<quadding inherit="0" quad="left">
<presp minimum="6pt" nominal="8pt" maximum="10pt" condit="discard"&lt;br"/>priority="high">
<textbrk startln="1" endln="1">
</charlist>
<att>
<specval attname="editor-only" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY">
<charsubset>
<indent inherit="0" leftind="1pi" firstln="*">
<quadding inherit="0">
<presp nominal="0.25in" condit="keep" priority="force">
</charsubset>
</att>
<att>
<specval attname="print-only" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY">
<specval attname="numcols" attloc="rear" attval="2">
<charsubset>
<indent inherit="0" leftind="0.0in" rightind="*0.75in" firstln="*">
<textbrk startln="1" endln="1">
<algroup refpoint="first">
</charsubset>
</att>
<att>
<specval attname="print-only" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY">
<specval attname="numcols" attloc="rear" attval="1">
<charsubset>
<indent inherit="0" leftind="0.0in" rightind="*1.65in" firstln="*">
<textbrk startln="1" endln="1">
<algroup refpoint="first">
</charsubset>
</att>
</e-i-c>


<e-i-c gi="def" context="glosslist">

<att>
<specval attname="print-only" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY">
<specval attname="numcols" attloc="rear" attval="2">
<charsubset>
<indent inherit="0" leftind="0.85in" rightind="0" firstln="*">
<textbrk startln="1" endln="1">
<algroup refpoint="first">
</charsubset>
</att>
<att>
<specval attname="print-only" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY">

If your definitions or "meanings" are short and you don't need the
column text wrapping that algroup formatting provides, you might want to
check into the content and formatting of the <deflist> tag in the
MILSPEC DTD and FOSI in the ...Arbortext/Editor/doctypes folder. I
think it is also in the CALS (38784) DTD. It is in the article and book
DTDs as well, but is slightly different there.

thank you for getting back to me. I am struggling with your example because my dtd is drastically different from the example you sent. my dtd looks like this:

%html-xmlns; CDATA #FIXED %html-namespace;

%common.attrib;

%events;

name CDATA #IMPLIED

value CDATA #IMPLIED

type (button|submit|reset) "submit"

disabled (disabled) #IMPLIED

tabindex CDATA #IMPLIED

accesskey CDATA #IMPLIED

onfocus CDATA #IMPLIED

onblur CDATA #IMPLIED

>

And you sample looks a lot different. Not sure how to make them converge.

Nichole,

Sorry. I have no clue and there is not enough information here. The
parameter entity that this posting contains doesn't look like a glossary
to me.

Maybe it makes sense to someone that does XSL, but I'm just a FOSI guy.
