<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>
