GSOC 2013 Improvement of glossary tools

From mediawiki.org

Documentation

[edit]

This is a documentation for features implemented to Lingo or Semantic Glossary that need to be documented

Noglossary tag

[edit]

A new <noglossary> tag was implemented. It allows parser to skip the words and phrases that are enclosed with this tag.

Example:

<noglossary>HTML</noglossary> HTML - in this case first "HTML" will not be considered as term.

Integration of ApprovedRevs

[edit]

Integration with ApprovedRevs, allows only approved revisions of terms to be taken into account.

To start using the feature you have to:

  1. Install Extension:Approved_Revs and require_once it in your LocalSettings.php
  2. Set $wgexLingoEnableApprovedRevs = true

Tip: if you never approved Terminology Page in Lingo, then none of the terms will be highlighted. Check it after you start using this feature.

Customizing the tooltip by using template

[edit]

This feature allows to use semantic templates as defnitionss in Semantic Glossary

To start using it you have to:

  1. Set $wgexLingoParseTemplates = true in your LocalSettings.php
  2. Create a custon template.
  3. Write a definition with the usage of this template. Example: [[Glossary-Definition::{{ Template_name | Parameter_1 | Parameter_n }} ]]

Great. Now the tooltip will fully display the output of template. You can use more complex definitions either tables, mediawiki markup, etc.
