Examples

<PARA>
GlossTerms are occurrences in the text
of words that are to appear in some Glossary or GlossList. The
BaseForm attribute is especially useful for plurals, such as
<GLOSSTERM BASEFORM="filename">filenames</GLOSSTERM>; the text
says &ldquo;filenames&rdquo; but the GlossEntry is
&ldquo;filename&rdquo;.   GlossTerm can also be linked
to its GlossEntry by supplying the ID of the GlossEntry 
as the value of the GlossTerm's LINKEND attribute.
