![]() Topic awaiting preservation: Glossary Script? (Page 1 of 1) |

![]() Is there a free or open source script I could use to generate a glossary? Basically I want a page automatically generated like this one I've manually created.. Just a ul of terms and definitions with lots of IDed a tags that can be linked to from all across the site. The script should also be able to find any glossary terms on any other page and do the linking for me. Does such a gem exist or will I have to roll my own? |

![]() Don't know of one off hand, but just wanted to note that this list is just screaming to be marked-up as a Definition List |

![]() DL is on point with the definition list input there. |

![]() Wow, I didn't even know there were list types besides ordered and unordered. I'll have to look into definition lists and redo the markup, thanks for the heads up! As for the input type. I'll convert the input to what ever I need to if a script already exists. What I have in mind though is something that collects all the DT tags in my gloss.shtml file. then searches the rest of the website for those terms and dynamically creates links back to the DTs. If I have to manually put all the terms in a text file or something similar I'm perfectly ok with that. |

![]() I recall using a gloassry script written by a German (I think, I recall having trouble with the docs, "phpglossar"?) that was fairly simple, alphabetized db put and take affair. Might make a good start for you but you'd have to do some modding to suit you with the anchors and DLs. Oh heck, do your own |
