Changed page 1 to:
about xerte and
about xot and
about moodle and
and page 2 with just a space at the end:
about xerte
about xot
about moodle
and both pages worked
then started each line with the term and no word or space before them and
only the first term was highlighted
put a space back before each term and all worked again

For all the words?
I can't get this to work, even with spaces. Can you? (So no white lines
between the words)

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:///\\%5C%5Cb> from the regexp. I tried to find
a manual page to figure out what \\b <file:///\\%5C%5Cb> means in RegExp,
but I can't find it. Do you have any idea what the \\b <file:///\\%5C%5Cb>
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');
}
}
