No it doesn't appear to be case sensitive.

I would assume that would be the case

I agree, that works. But I want:
xerte
xot
moodle
to work.
I added a space after each word, and that doesn't work, only 'xerte ' gets
highlighted. I have it working, but I want to understand why.

That's curious Tom
I changed the text on each page to:
about xerte and
about xot and
about moodle and
and the links get created and work on each page

I agree, but it was not sufficient. Somehow the second and third word in
Ron's example still did not get highlighted for me.
To fix this issue I had to add the \r to the RegExp.
And to fix the other issue I had to remove the \\b <file:///\\b> , but that
bothers me, because I don't know why it was in there and what it is supposed
to do....

I think it's a problem with the regular expression - if you add a space
after each word before you do a line break it will highlight the word but if
it's at the end of a line/ sentence like your examples it won't.
I think it's looking for " xot " rather than just "xot" to avoid things like
catalogue happening if you have the word cat in the glossary.

Hi Tom
is this XOT or xerte?
I can't get the Glossary to work in XOT at all - am I missing something
stupid?...
As a test I added the following:
Then a plain text page with
and a text and graphics page with the same words
But neither page shows any clickable links

Julain,
I suppose this is one for you:
I have a teacher that wants to create a kind of dictionary, so he's created
a big glossary, and then for each letter a separate text page containing a
list of the terms.
However, the terms are not all transformed into a link.
1. The regular expression doesn't like the sentence ending on a 'newline',
I've added '\r' to the set of characters that may 'end' a term in the RegExp
of line 6662 (or the teacher has to add a space at the end of the term.
That still is not enough, it will only transform the first term to a link. I
had to remove the \\b <file:///\\b> from the regexp. I tried to find a
manual page to figure out what \\b <file:///\\b> means in RegExp, but I
can't find it. Do you have any idea what the \\b <file:///\\b> is doing
there?
For quick reference I needed to change this:
if (Glossary.enabled && highlight != false){
for (var i = 0; i<Glossary.terms.length; i++) {
//new code with regexp
var re = new RegExp('\\b(' + Glossary.terms[i] +
')([.,!? -])', 'gi');
myText = myText.replace(re, '<font color =
"'+STYLES.glossaryColour+'"><a class="glossary" href =
"asfunction:_root.engine.rootIcon.showGlosTerm,'+i+'">$1</a></font>$2');
}
}
into this:
if (Glossary.enabled && highlight != false){
for (var i = 0; i<Glossary.terms.length; i++) {
//new code with regexp
var re = new RegExp('(' + Glossary.terms[i] + ')([.,!?
-\n\r])', 'gi');
myText = myText.replace(re, '<font color =
"'+STYLES.glossaryColour+'"><a class="glossary" href =
"asfunction:_root.engine.rootIcon.showGlosTerm,'+i+'">$1</a></font>$2');
}
}
