#### 20.7.3 Configuring glossary IDs

For each glossary term, DITA2Go creates an ID that consists of a special prefix, the term itself (omitting or replacing any spaces), and an optional suffix.

To specify glossary-term prefix, suffix, and space replacer:

[JavaHelpOptions]
; GlossPrefix = prefix used to form glossary term IDs, default GLO_
GlossPrefix=GLO_
; GlossSuffix = suffix used to form glossary term IDs, default none
GlossSuffix=
; GlossSpace = replacement for spaces in glossary term IDs,
; default none
GlossSpace =

DITA2Go stores glossary terms, IDs, and glossary file names (allowing for splitting a glossary file) in a ChapName.bhg file for each .ditamap file in your document. DITA2Go uses the set of *.bhg files to do the following:

- generate glossary.xml
- add glossary IDs and filename#GLO_term entries to the .jhm file
- add a glossary <view> to the helpset file.
