Once you've set up glossary terms, you can automatically provide hover-over definitions for these terms in your articles. This helps ensure terms are consistently highlighted without any extra work for your authors or anyone having to remember to insert them.
To turn on this option:
- Go to KB settings > Glossary. The Glossary settings page opens.
- In the Display options section, check the Article box For each glossary term that appears in an article, automatically highlight the term xx time(s).
- Use the numeric dropdown to set the number of times you want each term to be automatically highlighted in each article. We'll highlight terms starting from the top of the article.
- Save your changes.
For automatic highlighting to work, the terms in the articles must exactly match the terms in the glossary. If your article contains variations of a term (such as abbreviations, plurals, etc.), you must Add glossary definitions in articles manually for those situations.
Limitations
Auto-highlighting won't work on glossary terms within tables, divs (including the Well, Alert Danger, Alert Info, Alert Success, and Alert Warning divs), and embedded topic articles. To highlight terms within any of these elements, Add glossary definitions in articles manually.
