Properly render `Glossary` pages of libretexts.org

[benoit74]

Glossary pages content is special and it looks it needs JS to be rendered.

While most glossary pages contains only sample content, there are few (I found at least one) with proper content:

ID: 28160 URL: https://geo.libretexts.org/Courses/Sierra_College/Physical_Geology_(Sierra_College_Edition)/zz%3A_Back_Matter/20%3A_Glossary

Edit: it relies on JS and CSS:

<script defer="true" type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.libretexts.net/github/LibreTextsMain/Leo%20Jayachandran/Glossarizer/libretextsGlossarizer.js"></script><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.libretexts.net/github/LibreTextsMain/Leo%20Jayachandran/Glossarizer/libretextsGlossarizer.css" /><script>

Analyzing a bit https://cdn.libretexts.net/github/LibreTextsMain/Leo%20Jayachandran/Glossarizer/libretextsGlossarizer.js:

• data for the glossary is embedded into the page content, into an HTML table
• JS is used to fetch this data (even if it is supposed to already be there ...) and then reformat it
• many glossary formats are planned in the code (none, iupac gold book, ichem, achem, ochem, textbook) ... but it looks like by default textbook is used and
• the table contains multiple columns (word, definition, image, catpion, link, source, license, source URL) but so far in geo.libretexts.org only word and definition are used
• the library is highlighting glossary words in the glossary itself (i.e. if in words or definition of word-a the word-b is used, and word-b is present in the glossary as well, then word-b is highlighted, and if user hover word-b its definition is displayed (but it works pretty bad on mobile)

What I hence plan to do:

• Backport JS logic of libretexts.org in Python, and activate it only on libretexts.org ZIMs
  • Static rewriting is preferable because it allows to raise warnings or failures at scrape time, rather than waiting for users to raise concerns
• handle only word and definition columns for now
• reuse CSS / classes of libretexts.org for convenience
