TEMP (To be Unpublished or Deleted)

Local Glossary and Modern Footnotes

Try hovering your cursor over the word “temp,” which has been added to the site glossary. Depending on page settings, the glossary can be referenced by the page as it is here.¹The page setting has it show all glossary links for every instance of each glossary word on the page, and to popup a “tooltips” when hovering over the words. It could have been set to show glossary links/tooltips for the first instance of every glossary word on the page, or to not show any at all. You can also “click” on the glossary term to go directly to the glossary item. This is similar to how the “modern footnote” (MFN) works. If you didn’t hover over the reference number in the text, perhaps try it now.²This is the way a modern footnote works. MFN does not allow for a click-on option, but still pops up the content when hovering over the reference number. Note that the popup windows are different colors.

Temp might also have been referenced manually, for ultimate control. This is the same Temp glossary item with a forced placement via link which always forces it to show the link to the glossary regardless of other glossary settings.³The tooltip shows here because of the “show every word” in the glossary on this page. Had we shown only the first, there would be no tooltip here for this otherwise forced link.

To make all this work, we would have to create our own glossary, or get approval (and help?) to import the glossary from Scriptures.Info (which is copyrighted?; don’t know what that means in terms of crediting, etc.).

Remote Scriptures.Info Glossary

If we were to externally reference the Scriptures.Info glossary, we might open as an example “awake and arise” in a new tab. No hover; no tooltip; no automatic operation (or, said differently, each instance of each word of interest has to be identified and coded to work this way). In short, the reader would be forced to interrupt their reading rather than having the information in place. 

Standard link operations:

This is an external link opened in a new tab (Men)

This is an external link opened in this tab (Time)

This is an internal link opened in new tab (Be Kind)

This is an internal link opened in this tab (Be Kind — Addenda I)

These can be overridden by browser control, mostly.
