glossShortForm
The <glossShortForm> element provides
a shorter alternative to the primary term specified in the <glossterm>
element.
Note
Any list of alternative terms is, of course, specific
to the language, so translation of a glossentry topic may result in
an empty <glossShortForm> element if there is
no equivalent in the target language.

| Name | Description | Data Type | Default Value | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| base | A generic attribute that has no specific purpose. It is intended to act as a base for specialized attributes that have a simple value syntax like the conditional processing attributes (one or more alphanumeric values separated by whitespace), but is not itself a filtering or flagging attribute. The attribute takes a space-delimited set of values. However, when acting as a container for generalized attributes, the content model will be more complex; see Attribute generalization for more details. | CDATA | #IMPLIED | No |
