http://deseng.ryerson.ca/icons/mini/notdone.png Culling term definitions from sets of pages and presenting them nicely.
Goal
Produce a glossary of terms using TOC-like code and searching for DL list structures in multiple pages.
  • Try it with a fancy search in real-time.
    • This could be very slow.
    • Alternative: use immediates to make the list be saved when the topic containing the list is saved.
      • Will need a refresh option of some sort.
  • Also, instead of producing the actual glossary, produce:
    • a list of terms, with links to the pages they're defined in (instead of inlining the definition);
    • a letter index such that following one letter provides the glossary for only that letter; and
    • a way to extract one term+def from a topic (and embed in current topic).
  • It would be nice if there was a wikan shorthand (like chunk) but I can't think of one.
