# `<glossAlt>`

The `<glossAlt>` element contains a variant term for the preferred term. The variant should have the same meaning as the term in the `<glossterm>` element; the variant is simply another way to refer to the same term. There may be many ways to refer to a term; each variant is placed in its own `<glossAlt>` element. The `<glossUsage>` element may be used within `<glossAlt>` to indicate when use of the alternate term is appropriate.
