I am working on creating a glossary. How can I change how it looks on the various outputs. Here is a couple examples of what I am trying to do. 

 

Use the enter fuction when inputing the definition. If I imput say:

Term

1

2

3

The output will be:

 

Term

123

 

How to get it to recognize new paragraph. 

 

How to bold the term?

How to indent the defintion?

 

Basically how do I get things like the editing side bar in normal sections.

    UPDATE:

     

    Learned a couple things. 

     

    1) If you run the Glossary Term Converter script the pop up will show up with the paragraph, or exactly the way you typed it in, at least on frameless output.

    2) If you put the HTML in the definition the output in frameless will add the paragraphs and other things in the glossary itself, but will show the HTML langauge is the popup text with the context.

     

    Trying to see if I can get them to show up the same in both places.

    The glossary has always only allowed a single paragraph of unformatted text. Instead, for 20 years I have created a separate topic called "Glossary" which I add to the table of contents. 

     

    You can request features and report issues here: https://tracker.adobe.com/

    Post the item number in the discussion so people can easily vote if they want the same functionality. (I admit I've stopped asking for this one...)

    So if you create a separete topic, can you link them and do some of the other features that are tied to the glossary, or is it completely stand alone?
