Well, depends on how many words you want it style. If you want it to
style every occurrence of name except things in [=...=] and [@...@],
then you can style just before the "restore" operation:
Markup('glossary', '<restore', ...);
Note that you'll want to make sure you don't accidentally span occurrences
of the word that appear inside of <...> tags.
If you want to process *every* occurrence of the word, even those that
appear inside of [=...=] and [@...@], then place it after the restore
operation:
Markup('glossary', '>restore', ...);
If these don't work for you, identify where they don't work and
we'll see what we can do. :-)
