Hello and let me thank you for this extension, is very usefull
Just a question: is there a possibility to have in the glossary "complex" words such as "Black Panther"? Because I tried but it recognize separately the 2 words. I tried also with "Black-Panther" but it seems that the - is not contemplated.
Is there anyway a way to avoid this "problem"? It can be possible that I've to insert many records with spaces and could be that a word will be repeated.
I tried also with . but no way (
This non recursive replace option should be possible (I already have such a feature in some other extensions), but it is not very high in the todo list.
The glossary is only a glossary. It displays a popup window to explain, for instance, a technical term that most users don't know. If you have lengthy explanations to give, you should search for another tool.
Please explain what you're looking for.

I have 2 "problems"
- The composite words with space (such as "Black Panther"). My glossary will be full of those ones and I'm afraid that some single words can be repeated (i.e. "Panther" so "Black Panther" will not be displayed correctly anymore). Is there a special "bounding char" that can help? I tryed "Black.Panther", or "Black-Panther" but those chars are not parsed.
- If I will have many many posts and many glossary words the forum will be slowed by this plugin?
And by the way thank you for your past kind answers (very fast and precise, really)
For the first point, I can't help you for the moment.
For the second one, this extension runs on a board with 1 350 000 messages and about 600 glossary terms and nobody noticed any slowing.
Hi this looks wonderful. I hope it is still active as there are no posts here for a long time.
Question 1. Will Glossary recognise a name starting with a capital letter as different to an ordinary word?
An important person in my field of study I want to tag is named Guest.
Question 2. What happens about terms which are more than one word?
I have terms like 'White Book' and 'Red Book" (manuscripts) which are unavoidable.
Also 'Peniarth' is different to 'Peniarth 6'.
I saw other people asking about multiple word terms but I did not see if this is solved.
