+## Notes
+
++ The `glossary` plugin supports the use of a `GLOSSARY_EXCLUDE` setting,
+  which can be set to an arbitrary list in your `pelicanconf.py`. By
+  default, it's equal to the empty list. `glossary` will add to
+  `definitions` all definitions **EXCEPT** those whose title is found
+  inside `GLOSSARY_EXCLUDE`.
