We have many, many special names in our Glossary. So the List is very long. I want to group the list under some headlines and sometimes to reuse in other sites.
So i tried to use templates for some sections. Unfortunately Lingo does not follow Templates like:
Template:GLOSSAR REPORTS
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
Who closed this? Is it fixed? I'd like the ability to use parsed wiki text (e.g. templates here) and it doesn't look like I can.
Example of what I'm looking for (which may mean opening a new task):
Sample Wikitext:
; word : Definition [[with link]]
Expected hovertext on "word" would be "Definition <a href='...'>with link</a>" (with the link rendered -- no angle brackets displayed).
Instead the hovertext on "word" is "Definition [[with link]]".
The original issue was about composing the glossary of templates. This is not possible as Lingo works on the original wikitext, so no expansion of templates is done. A partial fix for this was introduced some time in 2013 I think. Since then Lingo ignores any line not starting with a : or ;, so it is at least possible to use e.g. headlines to structure the glossary a bit.
Now, parsing definitions was just introduced in 79ed8625fb5, so I am going to close this again.
