A Glossary contains a collection of terms and brief descriptions or definitions of those terms.

The following elements occur in glossary: abstract, address, anchor, authorblurb, beginpage, bibliography, blockquote, bridgehead, calloutlist, caution, classsynopsis, cmdsynopsis, constraintdef, constructorsynopsis, destructorsynopsis, epigraph, equation, example, fieldsynopsis, figure, formalpara, funcsynopsis, glossaryinfo, glossdiv, glossentry, glosslist, graphic, graphicco, highlights, important, indexterm, informalequation, informalexample, informalfigure, informaltable, itemizedlist, literallayout, mediaobject, mediaobjectco, methodsynopsis, msgset, note, orderedlist, para, procedure, productionset, programlisting, programlistingco, qandaset, remark, screen, screenco, screenshot, segmentedlist, sidebar, simpara, simplelist, subtitle, synopsis, table, task, tip, title, titleabbrev, variablelist, warning.
