Use with
Use with a target-filename annotation for those that start a new topic.

Since the terms and definitions are in different paragraphs, you will need to use the annotations p.glossary.term() and p.glossary.def to mark up the paragraphs.
Here is what your rules may look like.
Your output may look like this. This is one topic, so just one of the term/defintion pairs.
<glossentry>
<glossterm>Hepatitis</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<p>Inflammation of the liver</p>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
