In fact, the standardised way, as specified in HTML 4, is to use typed links - <a href="something" rel="glossary">Technical term</a> Cheers Charles McCN (Note that we get this right in some WAI specs, and in others we used a style too.

However, what you describe appears to be one the most classic uses of hypertext, so I'd have to argue that the most standard way of providing this function is with <a href..> elements. -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
