[Xerte] How to make use of the Glossary?

[Julian Tenney]

I commented out that functionality as I wasn't too happy with the way it
worked, and there a few problems with accessibility. Can you create your
own? My code looked at all text for any terms in the glossary and turned
any words it found into links. The links called an asfunction with the
word as the parameter - the function then displayed the term and the
definition,

 

I can look at it again if it would be useful...

Hello all,

I'm attempting to make use of the Glossary feature in Xerte 2.5, and I'm
not sure just how to do it. The Help file says you add a term to the
Glossary by using Glossary.addTerm('My Term', 'My Term Definition'); and
"Items added to the glossary are automatically highlighted in text
icons. When the user clicks on the link, the term and definition are
shown." 

I have added a term, but it is not highlighted on the text icon on which
it appears. I placed my script icon with Glossary.addTerm('NADA',
'National Auto Dealers Association'); to a setup icon that is attached
to the Learning Object icon. Should it go somewhere else, or has the
functionality of the Glossary changed since the Help file was written?
Do I need to add a button that launches showGlossary() or something?
