» *Thom says:* ~ That would depend on how well defined a term is in the
document. The purpose of a glossary is to treat the reader as if they
are intelligent, but not as if they have all the information available.
Also, there might be a case where a word means one thing in one trade
(Frog, biology, an animal) and another in another trade (Frog, Horse
wrangling, the soft part of a horses hoof). A glossary would help
clarify and minimize any sort of confusion.
Would Wiki allow for JavaScript? If so, there is a FloatWindow that
might be more convenient.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var gAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()
var gWindows = ( (gAgent.indexOf( "win" ) != -1 ) || ( gAgent.indexOf( "16bit" ) != -1 ) )
var gIE = ( gAgent.indexOf( "msie" ) != -1 )
var bInlineFloats = ( gWindows && gIE && ( parseInt( navigator.appVersion ) >= 4 ) )
var floatwnd = 0
// Generated in Word Perfect, I expect WPFootnote# could be changed.
var WPFootnote1 = '<span class="WPNormal"><p>This is the foot note. </p>\
</span>'
function WPShow( WPid, WPtext )
{
if( bInlineFloats )
eval( "document.all." + WPid + ".style.visibility = 'visible'" );
else
{
if( floatwnd == 0 || floatwnd.closed )
floatwnd = window.open( "", "comment", "toolbars=0,width=600,height=200,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,dependent=1" );
floatwnd.document.open( "text/html", "replace" );
floatwnd.document.write( "<html><head>\r\n" );
floatwnd.document.write( "<style> p { margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1px; } </style>\r\n" );
floatwnd.document.write( "</head><body>\r\n" );
floatwnd.document.write( WPtext );
floatwnd.document.write( '<br><a href="javascript: self.close()">Close</a>');
floatwnd.document.write( "</body></html>" );
floatwnd.document.close();
floatwnd.focus();
}
}
function WPHide( WPid )
{
if( bInlineFloats )
eval( "document.all." + WPid + ".style.visibility = 'hidden'" );
}
</script>
====
//at foot note position
This is the text
<a href="javascript:WPShow('WPFootnote1', WPFootnote1 )"><sup>1.</sup></a>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
if( bInlineFloats )
{
document.write( '<span id="WPFootnote1" class="WPFloatStyle">' );
document.write( WPFootnote1 );
document.write( '<br><a href="javascript:WPHide(\'WPFootnote1\')">Close</a>' );
