Glossary

Thanks Eloy,

Sorry I should have read this before I posted about the possibility of somepages with autolinking and some pages without.

It looks as though I am not going to be able to use the glossary. Sadness. I compiled the list of 600 (perhaps 550 unuiqe) words. I have almost finished formatting them to webCT format ready for input, but I realise that the 260 word glossary I have on another course is probably too long.

I am not sure of the difference between "page level" and "content level"...other than that one is a bit longer than another. But okay, I can see that if a page is built up heirarchically then it would not be possible to just autolink the whole thing afterwards. However, it should be possible to do a check to see the type of page that one is on, even inside the most CENTRAL, low level of Moodle functions.

AHA, sorry, even if there were some message going to the glossary saying "don't link to non resource pages" the glossary would still be in the output chain and still slowing things down?

But the problem is the number of the words in the glossaries I am trying to use. If the glossary curtailed its job after the first word in non-resource pages then there would be no problem. So while the autolink filter would be in the Moold Output Chain, the auto link filter would NOT be going through 600 words to see whether each of them match the processed text.

I guess that the glossary really a glossary and not an index and certainly not a dictionary.

Pehrpas I will offer a mini dictionary of the 100 most difficult words.
