Creating links in Book-activity

Creating links in Book-activity

Hello,

I have a course with book activities which I want to connect with definitions stored in the Glossary. The definitions stored in the Glossary should be available in the content of the book activity. Or maybe I should use another activity than Glossary to be able to store the definitions and be able to create the direct links to them.

I will appreciate for any hint.

If you activate the Glossary auto-linking filter feature you should be able to achieve this.

Dear Mary,

thank you for your reply. It seems that this is exactly that what I need. Can you just tell me how I can set the linking individually? I haven't found this option now.

This text comes directly from the page which you have mentioned:

Note: Enabling linking for the glossary does not automatically turn on linking for each entry - linking needs to be set for each entry individually.

You need to go into each glossary entry you have made and in its settings you can decide whether you want it to be automatically linked or not. See the section "Automatically link glossary entries" in Glossary settings

Dear Mary,


this is clear. I have found already this option. But how to manually, individually add the links in the text to the glossary entries. Is there any way to do this?

Sorry - I don't know what you mean? Once you have a glossary entry which is auto-linked then if you use the same wording in the book activity, they should link automatically.

Dear Mary, enabling the autolinks in Glossary is not my goal.

I want to decide which word or word phrase should be linked in the text. In the documentation link which you send me is stated that "linking needs to be set for each entry individually". My question is, how to do this?
