The glossary file describes for the glossary navigator the content and layout of the glossary. The format of a glossary file is the same as that of an index file. The glossary file format, as with the index file format, is based on the World Wide Web Consortium Extended Markup Language (XML).
The following XML code shows a sample definition of a glossary navigator in the helpset file:
   <view xml:lang="en" mergetype="javax.help.SortMerge">
      <name>glossary</name>
      <label>Glossary</label>
      <type>javax.help.GlossaryView</type>
      <data>glossary.xml</data>
  </view>
The following XML code shows a small example of a glossary file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'  ?>
   <!DOCTYPE index
     PUBLIC 
     "-//Sun Microsystems Inc.//DTD 
      JavaHelp Index Version 2.0//EN"
     "http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/index_2_0.dtd">
   <index version="2.0">
      <indexitem text="applet" target="applet_def"/>
      <indexitem text="application" target="application_def"/>
      <indexitem text="application server" 
                 target="appServer_def"/>
      <indexitem text="AWT" target="awt_def"/>
      <indexitem text="beans" target="bean_def"/>
   </index>

      the following optional attributes.
