Creating Glossary Lists

Use the class os_glossary_list to create a list of items with a term and a description. Every glossary list object must contain at least one term. Use the class os_glossary_term to create a term in the glossary list. Use the class os_glossary_definition to create a definition in the glossary list. By default, text inserted into a glossary list creates a definition.

The following example creates a glossary list with three term objects: Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism.

Example <ospace/web/examples/list3.cpp>


  #include <iostream.h>
#include <ospace/web.h>

int main()
  {
  os_page page( "List#3 Example" );

  os_glossary_list list( os_bold( "Common Object-Oriented Terms Defined" ) );

  list << os_glossary_term( "Encapsulation" )
       << "Hiding details of an implementation";

  list << os_glossary_term( "Inheritance" )
       << "Specialization of a class";

  list << os_glossary_term( "Polymorphism" )
       << "From the Greek - many forms";

  page << list;
  cout << page;
  return 0;
  }
