automatic glossary / bibliography creation

[mawieland]

This helps keep a list of abbreviations organized in bigger documents.

Should be accessible via a role directly in markdown. Similar to sphinx-needs

for example:

## chapter 1
:abb: `sne` is an extension to sphinx-needs which enables access to various commercial ticket systems.

would show:

---

chapter 1

SNE is an extension to sphinx-needs which enables access to various commercial ticket systems.

---

linking to a paper or other document could be done in a similar fashion.

This feature might also be useful in a HTML documentation context.
One possible solution is to create a separate sphinx extension to work with both HTML and simplepdf that auto-creates a glossary + bibliography file.

It must be automatically?
So Sphinx glossary is not a valid solution?
