Extension:Lingo/pt-br

Lingo is a glossary extension. It lets you define a list of abbreviations and their definitions on a page and then displays these definitions whenever an abbreviation is hovered over in an article.

The Terminology page
Por padrão a Lingo marcará qualquer página com os termos e definições definidos na página Terminologia de sua wiki (ou a respectiva página no idioma de sua wiki). Just create that page and insert some entries using the following syntax:


 * FTP:File Transfer Protocol
 * AAAAA:American Association Against Acronym Abuse
 * ACK:Acknowledge
 * AFAIK:As Far As I Know
 * AWGTHTGTATA:Are We Going To Have To Go Through All This Again
 * HTTP:HyperText Transfer Protocol

You can use any characters in a term (including punctuation, spaces, all UTF-8 characters, but excluding the colon of course), you are not limited to only letters.

To give some structure to the Terminology page you are also allowed to have Terms and Definitions on separate lines. Any lines not starting with a semicolon or a colon  are ignored, so go ahead and insert empty lines, headlines, explanatory text.

Using this format you may assign one definition to multiple terms, e.g. to cover grammatical variants (see the U.S.A. example below) and multiple definitions to one term, e.g. to cover different meanings (see the ACK example). You may even combine this, i.e. have multiple definitions for a set of multiple terms. Finally you may also use transclusion, e.g. to have different glossaries for different topics and pull them all together on the Terminology page.


 * FTP
 * File Transfer Protocol


 * AAAAA
 * American Association Against Acronym Abuse


 * ACK
 * Acknowledge
 * Acklington railway station


 * U.S.A.
 * USA
 * United States of America

Excluding text from markup
You can exclude an article from markup by including the magic word  anywhere in that article's text.

In some cases it may be necessary to exclude only portions of a page, e.g. because Lingo interferes with some JavaScript. This can be achieved by wrapping that part in an HTML element (e.g. a span or a div) and specifying. As a shorthand for  you can just use the  tag.

ApprovedRevs
Lingo supports the extension for the Terminology page. See Customization below.

Internationalization
The extension is pretty well internationalized by now, thanks to the efforts of the volunteers on https://translatewiki.net. (If your language is not supported yet, get an account there and help yourself. It's easy!) To find out the name of the Terminology page and of the  magic word in your wiki's language, have a look at the files in the   folder and the   file. If you want to change the name of the Terminology page, you can do so by editing the page on your wiki named MediaWiki:lingo-terminologypagename.

Customization
Add the following to  and uncomment/modify as needed:

MobileFrontend suppresses Lingo's styling, which makes all Definitions used on the article appear at the end of the page. To avoid this add the following to your LocalSettings.php when using MobileFrontend:

Lingo also provides an interface to plug in alternative dictionaries (backends). If you are interested in that, see Semantic Glossary for an example. You can also drop me a mail.

Finally you can provide your own styling. For the classes used by Lingo for the various HTML elements, please have a look at the.
