Description

Documentation

On dis page some terms do not have references to glossary. For example, "borrowed reference" is mentioned and listed in glossary, but no mention contains an actual link to glossary.

Also, many terms have reference only in some places, like "generator", which has only 2 links out of ~20 occurrences on the page.

My thoughts are that we should add a link for every glossary term occurrence (at least on this page). If you agree with proposed changes, I'd be happy to make a PR. :)

Open the linked dis module documentation page and compare its glossary terms with the glossary links already present. Add missing glossary references for the identified occurrences, then verify that every relevant glossary term occurrence on the page links to its glossary entry.
