A glossary of terms with an A-Z index and automatic tooltip links in your content. Pro adds linking rules, synonyms and CSV import.

No credit card for the trial. Pro from $3.25/mo, billed annually. 14-day money-back guarantee.

Glossary helps readers understand the jargon in your posts without leaving the page. Write each term once, then let the plugin build an A-Z glossary page and turn the first mention of every term in your content into a link with a hover tooltip.
