<h3>What can this Glossary plugin do for you?</h3>
<h4>🅰️ Alphabetical Index / archive</h4>
<p>Glossary by WPPedia creates glossary archives with posts indexed by their initial character.</p>
<h4>⛓️ Automated crosslinking between glossary articles</h4>
<p>Our Glossary plugin comes with a powerful automatic crosslinking / auto linking engine.</p>
<p>Glossary by WPPedia automatically recognizes any occurances of terms associated to another glossary article on your page.<br />
All terms are then linked to the corresponding post and provided with a tooltip, which increases the user-friendliness of the page</p>
<p>Now you don’t need to take the time consuming effort of manually adding internal links all over your glossary term’s content.</p>
<p>The free Version of WPPedia allows you to add up to 3 seperate alternative post terms for each glossary term. So if you have a glossary term about Elon Musk and you want this post to be linked if you type E. Musk in another article this feature is the right for your needs.</p>
<h4>ℹ️ Beautifully styled tooltips</h4>
<p>All automatic generated links are rendered with tooltips just like it’s known from pages like Wikipedia. These tooltips help your users to browse through your encyclopedia in a very efficient way. Hovering over an autogenerated link will reveal a beautiful card containing useful data giving you a brief insight what’s behind the next glossary article. By the way: Glossary by WPPedia free offers you 4 different tooltip styles in the free version.</p>
<p>So you may ask, when Glossary by WPPedia renders the tooltips with their regarding excerpts on every post, isn’t it possible that Google recognizes this as duplicate content?<br />
No! The tooltips content is not visible to search engines on page load. It get’s fetched asynchronous only when hovering an automatic generated link.</p>
<p>Sounds great? It is!</p>
<h4>🔎 Autosuggest search for glossary terms</h4>
<p>The Glossary plugin comes with an easy to use searchbar with autosuggestions. No need to submit a search form to get the expected results. Just click on a result while searching and you will get redirected to the matching term.</p>
<h4>✍️ Support for Gutenberg and other page builders</h4>

<h3>What is a glossary?</h3>
<p>A glossary, often called encyclopedia or lexicon is an industry-specific word list with the corresponding explanations.<br />
It’s very important that the terms defined are easy to understand and comprehensible.</p>
<h3>How can your website benefit from a glossary?</h3>
<p>Your website is likely filled with blog posts, shop products, case studies and more. Everything you need to get conversions, leads, etc.</p>
<p>Providing a glossary on your website on the other hand is an ideal way to pass expert knowledge about a specific topic.<br />
It is a win-win situation for everyone involved: The user finds everything in one place and does not have to pull information “externally”, you, the website owner, keep your visitors on your page.<br />
These visitors are then more likely to convert into customers.</p>
