# Glossary

Using the glossary.rst page you can create a glossary. The terms can be entered in any order and it will create an alphabetical list.
Terms need to be written with a hanging indent from the definition. Consult the Glossary Template for details.

To cite a term in a document that is not the glossary use the following convention:

```rst
:term:`term <term as written in Glossary>`
```

For example:

```rst
:term:`Size-tiered Compaction Strategy (STCS)<Size-tiered Compaction Strategy>`
```

Abbreviations and acronyms are defined in-line. The initial letters or abbreviation is first followed by the longer form.
For example:

```rst
:abbr:`LIFO (last-in, first-out)`.
```

```rst
:abbr:`Overwrite (Same data cells overwritten many times)`
```
