Overview
PloneGlossary is a Plone content type that allows you to manage your own glossaries, propose definitions and search in one or more glossaries. Any word defined is instantly highlighted in the content of your site.
Once a glossary is created, you can add your definitions to it. Definitions are a simple content type. Enter the word you want to define as the title, and the definition of the word in the text body. You can also specify variants of the word. For example if you define the word yoghurt, you may also want to allow the variants yogurt or yoghourt to be valid. Definitions will be highlighted (like an acronym) when they appear elsewhere in your site. (Also see the ploneglossary configlet.)
Once you have a large number of definitions in your glossary, you can browse the glossary by the means of an alphabetic index, or perform a search in the glossary. Each glossary has an integrated search engine, which is simply a ZCatalog.
The Glossary Configlet:
Glossary portlet: If switched on, a portlet listing all definitions found in the currently shown content.
Highlight content: if this option is chosen, all defined words are hightlighted in the chosen content types (see further).
Description length : Choose the maximum length of the given definition in the highlights.
Description ellipsis: Choose an ellipsis. It is used in the highlight when the defined term exceeds the description length.
Not highlighted tags: Define the html tags in which definitions should not be highlighted. Default: h1, a, input, textarea
Allowed portal types: Select the portal types for which defined words are highlighted.
General glossaries: Select glossaries used to check related terms of content.
