There are two methods for creating a glossary term. You can either create your terms on the Glossary Terms <\/strong>page\u00a0before you place them in your book, or you can create the terms directly from inside the content editor of your chapter, front matter, or back matter.\r\n
\r\n\r\nNote:<\/strong><\/em>\r\n\r\nIf you want glossary terms to appear in-text (allowing readers to click on them to see the definition), you will need to make sure the glossary term [pb_glossary id=\"229\"]shortcode[\/pb_glossary] is added to the chapter using the content editor.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Adding Glossary Terms from the Content Editor<\/h2>\r\nGo to the editing page of whatever chapter you want to add glossary terms for.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019ve highlighted an existing term to give it a definition, the shortcode will wrap around the term. If you\u2019ve created a new word while adding the glossary term, that word will appear wrapped in the glossary term shortcode.\r\n

Organizing Your Glossary<\/h2>\r\nClicking on the \"Glossary Terms\" link in the menu bar will bring you to your Glossary Terms page. Here you can add, edit, or delete glossary terms.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"Screenshot\r\n
