Feature: Support for Abbreviations / Glossary #29

Open kvn-s opened 6 years ago

First of all great tool, it really makes writing a thesis much more fun! :)

As Madoko is for creating scholarly documents I was surprised that there doesn't seem to be support for abbreviations/acronyms.

I looked around a little and realized that some Markdown flavors agree on the following syntax:

This is an example ABBR and more text...
*[ABBR]: My Abbreviation

Is it possible to add support for it? I would expect that creating a listing using [TOC=abbreviations] would work similar to figures and tables. And maybe all occurrences would have a tooltip with the expanded description too.

That seems to be a great idea; I could use such a feature! 👍 I have no idea how to implement it (I tried to peek into the koka code but without success).
