2.Sec = {Def.Sec}
Def.Ti = DEFINITIONS
Note = We parameterize the Defined Terms by converting "Accession Agreement" to "{_Accession_Agreement}." (There is no magic to this. The leading "_" is a convention for signalling that we mean a defined term instead of some data or the like. It also allows us to reference a library of links using the prefix of "_=[LibraryOfLinks]" We generate a series of links using one of the options in parser-openedit.pl - which generates them. Each one of those will link to "Def.*.sec" - e.g. Def.Accession_Agreement.sec. So we give each of the definitions a matching key and make the whole definitions section into "Def.Sec." All this allows hyperlinking each defined term to the definition. (This may sound a bit fiddly, but it is remarkably robust, and enforces discipline about defined terms.
