Create a cross-referenced glossary

[mbcann01]

Overview

• I was working on moving the front matter from the original bookdown Rmd documents to the new qmd documents (#96).
• As I was doing so, I decided it would be a good time to double-check and enforce our conventions for emphasizing text.
• That led me to notice that a bolded word in contributing.qmd should really be hyperlinked to the glossary.
• That led me to try to figure out how to make that happen.

I don't think we can link random words in the glossary. However, I think we may be able to make the glossary words headers, style them with CSS, then link words in the chapters to those headers in the glossary.

Useful links

• Quarto cross-reference documentation
• Cross-referencing chapter of test Quarto book
