Glossary Group

Definition

A distinct grouping of glossary definitions, usually preceded by a title that identifies the grouping (e.g., “Definitions for Students”).

The intent of glossary groups is to allow glossaries to be divided into headed sections, recursively deep, where each section can be about a special topic or category of terms.

Remarks

Typical content of such a Glossary Group is a title that names the group, a paragraph of explanation that defines the group or explains any exclusions, and then a series of term/definition pairs tagged inside a Definition List <def-list>.
