Introduction
Create glossaries and terms, then highlight them in articles with accessible tooltips and optional links. A-Z pages, search, related terms, usage map, and DefinedTerm JSON-LD are included.
Easy Glossary is a Joomla component plus content plugin, system plugin, site module, editor button, and Smart Search plugin for Joomla 5 and 6. You keep multiple dictionaries, scope the same spelling to different glossaries, and skip headings, links, and code so highlights stay safe.
