Element: synonym
Child Elements: <none>
Description: A synonym is an alternative sequence of characters to a headword. Synonym matching produces an entity match, but returns the headword in place of the matching synonym. For example, if you search for dog with the synonym canine enabled, matches for canine return as if they matched dog.
Example:
<entry headword="Vatican City"> <synonym>The Vatican</synonym> <synonym>Holy See</synonym> <synonym>Città del Vaticano</synonym> <synonym>Citta del Vaticano</synonym> </entry>
