Having a glossary without printing #39

Open CronJorian opened 6 months ago

CronJorian commented 6 months ago

It would be great to have the benefits of a glossary without it being required to be printed. As in: image

I think this may be useful for others too, who write papers for example as it is neat to use the acronyms in text, but the glossary takes way too much space.

I hope it is clear what I am suggesting. I looked into your docs but I didn't find any hint how to accomplish this in the current state.

At the moment this is not possible. It is very doable but it would require some changes in glossarium's API.

This usecase could be supported in a futur release.

Thank you for the quick answer :) Then I'll close this issue as not planned. If you want to reopen it or something, just do it

I made a really dumb hack for this :

#place(dy: -100000pt)[
  #print-glossary([…])
]

This just moves the glossary high up, enough to not be rendered on the page. You can still click on the terms, and it will redirect you to the page where the glossary is hidden. But I just needed this to turn a report of mine into a slideshow and make easy copy-pasting without losing too much time.
