====== Glossary markup ======

===== Purpose =====

Used in [[tools:online_logs#markup_for_use_in_notes|my observing logs]] to mark up a word or phrase that might need further explanation.

When I convert each log to XHTML for display on my [[http://www.astronomer.me.uk/logs/|main site]] I convert these items into links to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/|Wikipedia]].

===== Syntax =====

<code xml>
<gloss>Word or phrase goes here</gloss>
</code>

===== Examples =====

<code xml>
The <gloss>sunspot</gloss> had a very dark <gloss>umbra</gloss> and a very
visible <gloss>penumbra</gloss>.
