Hi Paul,
Actually, the use of entity here is not the problem. You would get the same
results if you replace the entity reference with the glossterm element
itself.
The problem is the use of @linkend to refer to a glossary database. The
linkend attribute can only reach an id that exists in the same document, and
the glossary database elements do not. They are selected and loaded into the
stylesheet to generate the glossary output, but never get into the main
document.
However, there is a workaround. If you set the stylesheet param
glossterm.auto.link="1" and use this form of inline glossterm (either
directly or in an entity declaration), you will get a hot link:
<glossterm baseform="entitytest">a test</glossterm>
This doc provides more information about the autolinking feature and the
@baseform attribute:

Subject: [docbook-apps] entities and glossary database
Docbook 5
It appears that entities with linkends referring to a glossary database
glossentry do not get the links.
Given:
&myentitytest; defined as <glossterm linkend="gloss-entitytest">a
test</glossterm>
and a glossary file containing
<glossary>
<glossentry id="gloss-entitytest">
<glossterm>entitytest</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
a definition
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
</glossary>
The following snippet:
<para>
&myentitytest;
</para>
<glossary role="auto"/>
pulls in the glossary definition but does not establish the link
However, the following in one file does establish the link.
The glossary file contains
<para>
&myentitytest;
</para>
<glossary>
<glossentry id="gloss-entitytest">
<glossterm>entitytest</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
a definition
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
</glossary>
Is there something I can do do get the first case to work with the
role="auto"? I am using xsltproc with the docbook-xsl-ns-1.78.1
stylesheets.
Thanks,
Paul
