 ## Final tips
 
 I recommend setting a show rule for the links to that your reader understand that they can click on the references to go to the term in the glossary.

 There are many Belgian universities, like @kuleuven and @ulb. When repeating their names, they won't show as a long version: @kuleuven, @ulb. But we can still force them to be long using the `gls` function: #gls("kuleuven", long: true). We can also force them to be short: #gls("kuleuven", long: false). Finally, we can make them plural using the `suffix` parameter: #gls("kuleuven", suffix: "s") or using the additional `supplement` onto the `ref`: @kuleuven[s]. We can also use the plural function function `#glspl(key: "kuleuven")` #glspl("kuleuven").

 Numbering is, of course, correct when referencing the glossary: @kuleuven, @ulb, @ughent, @vub, @ulb, @umons, @uliege, @unamur. They are also sorted based on where the page is in the document and not the textual representation.

 At the moment, customization is not built-in to the function and instead follows a modified version of @ughent's template. But you can easily customize it by modifying `glossary.typ`. It is short enough and well documented enough to be easily understood. Additionally, you can load data externally and pass it as a parameter to the `glossary.with` function to load data from an external format.
