### 11.7.1 Evaluating glossary usability

The JavaHelp 2 glossary system is designed to work with a separate file for each glossary term. The terms are listed in an index-style glossary navigation pane; clicking a term in the glossary pane opens a small window that displays the definition. There are no links to definitions from terms that appear in topics.

If you provide a single Glossary topic that contains all the terms and definitions, instead of using the built-in JavaHelp 2 glossary, you can include cross references to the terms wherever needed. You cannot insert jumps from topics to the JavaHelp 2 glossary.
