<glossary>

The <glossary> tag creates a glossary division containing terms and their definitions. Its entries are given by <gi>, and it may begin with a <headnote> introducing the list.

A <glossary> often appears in <backmatter>, but it can also be placed inside another division when a local glossary is useful.
