Spindle Dynamic Glossary helps you build glossaries, dictionaries and terminology tooltips on your WordPress site.
Define a term once and it is highlighted automatically wherever it appears in your posts and pages. Visitors hover or tap to read the definition in a tooltip or pop-up, and a searchable A-Z glossary can be added to any page with a shortcode.
Features
- Automatic highlighting in the post types you choose, every mention or just the first.
- Safe matching that never touches links, headings, buttons, scripts, code samples, shortcodes or HTML entities.
- Accessible tooltips and pop-up: keyboard and screen-reader friendly, dismissible with Escape, and kept on screen automatically.
- Searchable A-Z glossary with live search and a letter menu.
- Dashboard with a setup checklist, statistics and status at a glance, and a settings screen with a live tooltip preview.
- Fonts: choose Poppins, Josefin Sans or the WordPress default for the plugin’s screens, and optionally use the same font for tooltips, the pop-up and the glossary on your site. Both fonts are included, so nothing is loaded from other websites.
- Per-post opt-out from the editor sidebar.
