14.7.3.4 Formatting output for the abbreviated-form element

When DITA2Go encounters <abbreviated-form> in your DITA source, in addition to displaying the correct form of the referenced term based on first-use rules and settings, the rendered term becomes an active cross reference to the glossary item, and the <glossTerm> content (title) shows on mouseover; see §22.9 Providing hover text for links in HTML.

If you specify @outputclass on <abbreviated-form>, DITA2Go treats the value as the name of a cross-reference output format; otherwise, DITA2Go uses cross-reference format TextXref. See §8.7 Defining cross-reference output formats.
