Hussain, if I had only opened my eyes, I would have seen that you provided that information. I apologize.
I am going to restructure some of my glossary topics so they are set up like yours. I will let you know if I continue to have this issue.

I used multiple files. My answer to your support request included the full DITA source of my test, both inline with the text of my message and as a "Sample_Glossary.tar.gz" attachment, but may be you didn't notice that. I wrote: =================================================== I used this glossgroup for my test: --- <!DOCTYPE glossgroup PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Glossary Group//EN" "glossgroup.dtd"> <glossgroup id="glossary"> <title>Glossary</title> <glossentry id="glossary-2"> <glossterm>Term #1</glossterm> <glossdef>Definition of term #1.</glossdef> </glossentry> <glossentry id="glossary-3"> <glossterm>Term #2</glossterm> <glossdef>Definition of term #2.</glossdef> </glossentry> <glossentry id="glossary-4"> <glossterm>Term #3</glossterm> <glossdef>Definition of term #3.</glossdef> </glossentry> </glossgroup> --- =================================================== So it's clearly several glossary terms in a single glossgroup file. I would say that this is the most convenient way to add a glossary to a DITA document and also, that this is precisely why the <glossgroup> element has been invented. > > Thank you, > Julie > > -----Original Message----- > From: Hussein Shafie <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, November 9, 2019 2:57 AM > To: Julie McHam <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ditac] Issue with glossary entries > > On 11/09/2019 01:32 AM, Julie McHam wrote: >> >> >> I'm trying to implement a glossary using the DITA to DOCS >> Transformation (Xsl Utility 5.5.0 - I know, we're a little behind on our >> upgrades). >> Anyway, the Glossary generates, but a Next Page section break is >> placed after each entry.
