There may be more than one way to do this.
A simple way would be:
A <emphasis id="process.def">process</emphasis>
<indexterm><primary>process</primary></indexterm>is a programm in execution.
That gives you the emphasis, id for cross reference,
and index entry. A link to it could be done with:
Whenever I speak of <link linkend="process.def">processes</link> ...
I thought <firstterm> could be used instead of
<emphasis>, but the FO output of <firstterm> is not
italic, while it is for HTML. That may be a bug.
Unfortunately, the fo output does not put firstterm
into italic. I believe that is a bug.
In another approach, if you were putting your definitions
into a glossary, the XSL stylesheets have some significant
machinery for using <firstterm> to link to the glossary. I
haven't tried using that yet.
