How to link to a term in this glossary from another website

Each defined term is bookmarked for specific reference. You may link directly to any term listed in the glossary by quoting the full URL plus the desired term in your source file. For instance, to link to the term "antheridium" the full URL should read:

<a href="http://www.apsnet.org/edcenter/resources/illglossary/Pages/A-D.aspx#antheridium">

For other definitions in the A-D section, replace "antheridium" with the term of your choice.

Terms in the E-H range must have the file name "E-H.aspx" substituted for "A-D.aspx". The other sections of the alphabet are: I-M.aspx; N-R.aspx; S-V.aspx; and W-Z.aspx.

To see how a link will behave, click the linked term in the following sentence. To see an image illustrating an endoconidium, click the term, then the image icon.
