GSOC 2013 Improvement of glossary tools

Documentation

This is a documentation for features implemented to Lingo or Semantic Glossary that need to be documented

Noglossary tag

A new <noglossary> tag was implemented. It allows parser to skip the words and phrases that are enclosed with this tag.

Example:

<noglossary>HTML</noglossary> HTML - in this case first "HTML" will not be considered as term.

Integration of ApprovedRevs

Integration with ApprovedRevs, allows only approved revisions of terms to be taken into account.

To start using the feature you have to:

1. Install Extension:Approved_Revs and require_once it in your LocalSettings.php
2. Set $wgexLingoEnableApprovedRevs = true

Tip: if you never approved Terminology Page in Lingo, then none of the terms will be highlighted. Check it after you start using this feature.

Customizing the tooltip by using template

This feature allows to use semantic templates as defnitionss in Semantic Glossary

To start using it you have to:

1. Set $wgexLingoParseTemplates = true in your LocalSettings.php
2. Create a custon template.
3. Write a definition with the usage of this template. Example: [[Glossary-Definition::{{ Template_name | Parameter_1 | Parameter_n }} ]]

Great. Now the tooltip will fully display the output of template. You can use more complex definitions either tables, mediawiki markup, etc.
