marking up definitions in the wiki

If you want to include a definition (for example, in the glossary section 
[1])  use a "template."  This way the definitions will stay in synch. For 
example, "delivery unit" appears in multiple criteria. Using a template 
allows us to define it once and use it everywhere.

Here is the wiki code for a glossary section [1].
== Glossary ==
{{deliveryunitdef}}
{{navfeaturesdef}}
{{perceivableunitdef}}
{{programmaticallyidentifieddef}}
When the page is displayed it will show:
  Glossary
delivery unit
     A set of material transferred between two cooperating web programs as 
the response to a single HTTP request. The transfer might, for example, be 
between an origin server and a user agent.
Template:Navfeaturesdef Template:Perceivableunitdef 
Template:Programmaticallyidentifieddef
"Navfeaturesdef" appears instead of a definition, because the template for 
Navfeatures has not been defined. "Template:Navfeaturesdef" is a link to an 
edit page that allows you to create the definition for the term, 
"navigational features."

To link to the definitions from within the content use the following in the 
wiki markup:
[[#navfeaturesdef | Navigational features]] can be 
[[#programmaticallyidentifieddef | programmatically identified]]. 
([[Proposed Guide to 2.4 L1 SC1]])
This example links to both "navigational features" and "programmatically 
identified."

Questions?  let me know.
Best,
