Hi Hussein, thanks for your quick support! Both workarounds work fine for me.
When do you think will XMLmind DITA Converter support this type of glossary? It seems to be a standard DITA feature. At mentioned earlier DITA OT supports it without problems.

Well...it's a basically an omission in our implementation! Therefore this is not a simple bug we could fix today in order to very quickly send you a patch. It will take some time to support this style of glossarylist. Sorry for that. Meanwhile, we suggest A) or B): Workaround A) ------------- 1) to move your glossary out of <booklists>, that is: --- <backmatter> <booklists> <figurelist/> <tablelist/> <glossarylist> <topicref href="glossary_app_context.dita"/> </glossarylist> <indexlist/> </booklists> </backmatter> --- becomes: --- <backmatter> <topicref href="glossary.dita"/> <booklists> <figurelist/> <tablelist/> <indexlist/> </booklists> </backmatter> --- 2) to group all your <glossentry>s into a single <glossgroup>. Let's suppose file glossary.dita contains such <glossgroup>: --- <!DOCTYPE glossgroup PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Glossary Group//EN" "glossgroup.dtd"> <glossgroup id="glossary_app_context"> <title>Glossary</title> <glossentry id="glossentry-app_context-1" xml:lang="de-DE"> <glossterm>APP_CONTEXT</glossterm> <glossdef>Definition...</glossdef> </glossentry> <glossentry id="glossentry-app_context-2" xml:lang="de-DE"> <glossterm>APP_CONTEXT</glossterm> <glossdef>Definition...</glossdef> </glossentry> </glossgroup> --- Workaround B) ------------- Alternatively, what follows seems to work too: --- <backmatter> <booklists> <figurelist/> <tablelist/> <glossarylist href="glossary.dita"/> <indexlist/> </booklists> </backmatter> --- Notice that here too, all your <glossentry>s are grouped into a single <glossgroup>.
