The way the glossary works, in case anyone is interested, is I parse the terms and definitions out of the HTML file and put them in a data structure (currently a pickle file, but I think the next version will have a database table). I sort them into first-letter groups (capitalized), and make a page for each letter. The definitions sometimes contain cross-references to other terms. I got the maintainer to use an agreed format for cross-reference anchors (<a href="LETTER#term-lowercase-with-hyphens"> I think), and then I just keep the anchors in the definitions. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
