Indeed, the workaround was written for DocBook 4. I'll need to revise it for the next edition. Has anyone tried a different workaround for DocBook 5?

The problem is of course that the glossterms in the text are pulling in the according glossentries, but the glosssealso - links will then partly not work since for some of them there are no glossentries pulled in. This problem is stated in Bob Staytons book: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/GlossDatabase.html under "Links in a glossary collection", the second point. There, a link to a workaround for that is given: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/glossary.collection.html This workaround does not work, since the schema forbids to put a glossterm in a remark. So the suggested code seems to be wrong: <glossary role="auto"> <remark>Make sure there's a reference to <glossterm>gloss-2</glossterm>.</remark> <glossentry> <glossterm>Irrelevant</glossterm> <glossdef> <para>If you can see this, the document was processed incorrectly. Use the <parameter>glossary.collection</parameter> parameter.</para> </glossdef> </glossentry> </glossary> This entry seems to be written for DocBook 4, since there is the placeholder glossentry in it, which is not necessary anymore. I just wanted to make note of it, probably someone fixes the docu.
