That would be useful.  I've already wrapped all the definitions in
macros anyway, for the links (below).

They did.  I ended up putting the macros inside the @ifhtml etc so
that the newlines get swallowed.

It's good enough for now, as I'm just cross-referencing terms used
within the terminology section, which are defined elsewhere in the
terminology section.

The macros (and usage) ended up looking like this:


@comment wrap terms at their definition
@ifhtml
@macro tdef{TERM}
@html
<a name="\TERM\">\TERM\</a> @end html
@end macro
@end ifhtml

@ifnothtml
@macro tdef{TERM}
\TERM\
@end macro
@end ifnothtml

@comment wrap terms to cross reference
@ifhtml
@macro tref{TERM}
@html
<a href="#\TERM\">\TERM\</a> @end html
@end macro
@end ifhtml

@ifnothtml
@macro tref{TERM}
\TERM\
@end macro
@end ifnothtml


@item @tdef{annulus}
@itemx @tdef{annular ring}
The donut-shaped ring of copper that surrounds the hole of a
@tref{pin} or @tref{via}.  In @pcb{}, the size of a pin or via is the
