## Descrizione

Spindle Dynamic Glossary helps you build glossaries, dictionaries, and terminology
tooltips on your WordPress site.

Define glossary terms once and automatically highlight them across selected post
types. Visitors can view definitions in tooltips or modals, and a searchable A-Z
glossary can be displayed with a shortcode.

#### Key Features:

 * **Automatic Highlighting:** Define a term once, and it automatically highlights
   across your selected posts and pages.
 * **Content-safe parsing:** The parser avoids replacing text inside existing links,
   headings, HTML tags, and shortcodes.
 * **Interactive Tooltips & Modals:** Choose between floating tooltips, fixed info
   boxes, or pop-up modals for user interactions.
 * **Live glossary filtering:** The frontend glossary grid provides live text search
   and A-Z filtering.
 * **Individual Post Exclusions:** Easily disable tooltips on a per-post basis via
   a simple checkbox in the post editor.
 * **Configurable display:** Adjust tooltip colors, positioning, behavior, and text
   limits from the settings dashboard.

## Installazione

 1. Upload the `spindle-dynamic-glossary` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to ‘Spindle Glossary > Settings’ to configure your tooltip colors, behaviors,
    and target post types.

## FAQ

### How do I create a glossary term?

Go to **Spindle Glossary > Add New**, enter the term as the title, and add its definition
in the editor. Publish the glossary entry. The term can then be used for automatic
highlighting and in the glossary shortcode.

### How do I display the glossary on a page?

Add the shortcode `[spindle_glossary]` to the page or post where you want the glossary
listing to appear. The listing includes live text search and A-Z filtering, and 
its click behavior can be configured in **Spindle Glossary > Settings**.

### How does automatic term highlighting work?

After you create glossary entries, the plugin can automatically identify those terms
in the content of the post types selected in **Spindle Glossary > Settings**. Highlighting
can be limited to single posts/pages and can be configured to control how occurrences
are handled.

### What happens when a visitor clicks a highlighted term?

You can choose the click behavior in **Spindle Glossary > Settings**. With **Pop-
up Modal**, the definition is displayed in a modal on the current page. With **Unique
Page**, the visitor is taken to the glossary entry’s individual page.

### Can I exclude a specific post or page from automatic glossary highlighting?

Yes. When editing a supported post or page, use the **Spindle Glossary** meta box
and enable the option to disable glossary tooltips for that specific content item.

### Can I choose which post types receive automatic highlighting?

Yes. The settings allow you to select the post types where automatic glossary highlighting
should be applied. This lets you limit the feature to the content types you want.

### Can I change the appearance of the tooltips?

Yes. The settings provide controls for tooltip background, text and title colors,
position, desktop and mobile tooltip methods, and definition text length.
