Hussein,
The acronyms and spelled out forms are interpreted beautifully by your
software. However, they are outputting as a dark purplish blue, and I would
prefer them to be black (even though they are links). I have tried adding the
following to my customized stylesheet (which only contains some formatting
changes to some elements), but there is no change to the color:
<xsl:attribute-set name="abbreviated-form">
<xsl:attribute name="color">#000000</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-style">normal</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-weight">normal</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
Is it possible to change the color of these links? If so, please explain how I
can do that.
Thank you,
Julie McHam

Without a keydef for key "cde", there is no way to make something keyref="cde"
work.
You need to add something like what follows in your map (directly or
indirectly, that is, group all your keydefs in a separate file and reference
this file from your map):
---
<keydef href="glossgroup.dita#cde" keys="cde"/>
---
Please find attached to this email a complete working example.
