boundaries, appearing at the end of a Book or Chapter,
for instance, GlossLists can appear anywhere that the other
list types are allowed.
Using a GlossList in running text, instead of a
VariableList, for example, maintains the semantic
distinction of a Glossary. This distinction may be necessary if you
want to automatically point to the members of the list with
GlossTerms in the body of the text.
These elements contain glosslist: annotation, answer, appendix, article, bibliodiv, bibliography, bibliolist, blockquote, callout, calloutlist, caption (db.caption), caution, chapter, colophon, constraintdef, dedication, entry, example, figure, footnote, glossary, glossdef, glossdiv, glosslist, html:fieldset, html:form, important, index, indexdiv, informalexample, informalfigure, itemizedlist, legalnotice, listitem, msgexplan, msgtext, note, orderedlist, para, partintro, preface, procedure, qandadiv, qandaset, question, refsect1, refsect2, refsect3, refsection, refsynopsisdiv, revdescription, sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4, sect5, section, setindex, sidebar, simplesect, step, taskprerequisites, taskrelated, tasksummary, td, textobject, th, tip, toc, tocdiv, variablelist, warning.
