<p>Glossy provides an easy way to insert predefined text for use throughout your site. If Tippy is installed, definitions can show via a tooltip. Provides an easy way to specify if tooltips should show in a tooltip or inline by default. Also provides a shortcode attribute for changing the inline setting on a per-term basis.</p>
<p>Glossy adds the shortcodes gs and glossy. For example:</p>
<p>[gs NYSE] – this is the quick way.<br />
[glossy term=”NYSE”] – a longer form, does the same as [gs NYSE]</p>
<p>You can also specify the inline attribute:</p>
<p>[glossy term=”NYSE” inline=”false”] – show the definition in a tooltip<br />
[glossy term=”NYSE” inline=”true”] – show the definition in the body of your post content.<br />
[gs inline=”true” nyse] – Same as above.</p>
<p>Terms are defined in the WordPress dashboard and can be used throughout your site.</p>
<p>The tooltip is created by the Tippy plugin, so showing definitions in a tooltip requires Tippy in order to work.</p>
<p>If you want to create a page that shows visitors an index of all your Glossy entries, use the [glossyindex] shortcode. Just insert [glossyindex] into any post or page and it will take care of the rest. By default, it shows a header with an index of first characters. You can turn it off by using [glossyindex header=”off”]</p>

Heroic Glossary – Block for building Glossaries, Dictionaries and more

This is a neat solution for creating professional glossaries right in Gutenberg! The drag-and-drop interface makes building dictionaries and encyclopedias surprisingly easy. Love the A-Z navigation and lightning-fast search - very user-friendly. The SEO benefits are a nice bonus too. However, with only 4k installs and mixed 3.5-star reviews, it feels like it's still finding its footing. The "not tested with current WordPress" warning is concerning. Great concept and solid features, but maybe wait for more updates before committing to major projects.
