Rather than reading from a file, glossary objects can be created inline.

as_glossary(...)

Arguments

...

unquoted <label> = <definition> pairs, or a named list of abbreviations where the names are the labels; see Examples.

Value

A new glossary object.

Details

For all entries in the new object, the abbreviation is set to the label. See update_abbrev() to customize the abbreviation.

Entries that have duplicate labels will be dropped with a warning.
