With the glossary you can create a comprehensive list of terms and definitions. The feature also enables you to display responsive tooltips that appear when users hover over a term, providing users with quick and convenient access to definitions. New 2023 Version!
The CM Glossary Tooltip is a powerful WordPress plugin that allows you to create a glossary of terms and definitions for your website. It works by automatically detecting glossary terms within your posts or pages and adding links to a dedicated glossary page that includes the term’s definition.
When users hover over the linked term, a tooltip pops up displaying the definition. The plugin also generates a responsive glossary index that lists all of the terms used throughout your website and provides easy access to their definitions.
The Pro editions include even more powerful features, such as: audio and video tooltips, Wikipedia support, Google Translate and Merriam-Webster integrations, ChatGPT integration, support for abbreviations and variations, multiple glossaries support, multiple index templates and much more.
