Interactive glossary on Make sites


There’s a new glossary feature running on selected Make p2s. It automatically highlights terms that are defined in a Handbook glossary, and on hover gives a popup tooltip with the definition. It looks something like this:

We’ve enabled the plugin on several Make sites to begin with, including Make Meta. It draws its content from two sources: a global WordPress glossary as written by the marketing team, and a local glossary specific to each Make site. Authors and Editors will find a Glossary section in the main menu of wp-admin.

The plugin is of course open source, and it’s available now in the plugin directory for anyone to use on their own WordPress site.

We’ll gradually enable the plugin on remaining Make sites as we deal with any unexpected issues. Please let the team know in #meta if you find any problems with the plugin or would like it enabled on your team’s P2.
