Re: [docbook-apps] glossdiv info lost when using the glossary database

Title: Message

The automatic glossary feature does not currently 
support assembling entries from a glossary collection into 
glossdivs.  I can see how that might be nice, though.  You could file 
a feature request.  8^)

Subject: [docbook-apps] glossdiv info 
  lost when using the glossary database

  

  
Has any one came 
  across this issue when using glossary databases?

  
 

  
I have a glossary 
  database in use in my doc set. However, it appears that I cannot preserve the 
  glossdiv info that is in the database.

  
 

  
Here is the 
  glossary:

  
 

  
<glossary>

  
<glossdiv>

  
<title>Fish</title>

  
    <glossentry id="carp">

  
        
  <glossterm>Carp</glossterm>

  
        
  <glossdef><para>A dirty Fish</para></glossdef>

  
    
  </glossentry>

  
    <glossentry id="trout">

  
        
  <glossterm>Trout</glossterm>

  
        
  <glossdef><para>A clean fish</para></glossdef>

  
    
  </glossentry>

  
</glossdiv>

  
<glossdiv>

  
<title>Mammals</title>

  
    
  <glossentry>

  
        
  <glossterm>Rat</glossterm>

  
        
  <glossdef><para>A dirty animal</para></glossdef>

  
    
  </glossentry>

  
    
  <glossentry>

  
        
  <glossterm>Horse</glossterm>

  
        
  <glossdef><para>A clean animal</para></glossdef>

  
    
  </glossentry>

  
</glossdiv>

  
 

  
</glossary>

  
 

  
However, when I "glossterm" each one of these in a document, the 
  glossary comes out:

  
 

  
Carp

  
Trout

  
Rat

  
Horse

  
 

  
rather than

  
 

  
Fish

  
    Carp

  
    Trout

  
 

  
Mammals

  
    Rat

  
    Horse 

  
 

  
Is 
  there something messed up in my customization layer or is this just the way it 
  is?
