[Feature Request] Change {glossary-brief} Term Marker to a more compact layout #121

Similar to my suggestion for adding a Compact Glossaries option for Defintions within the search window. I think it would be a nice QoL Feature, if the already existing {glossary-brief} Term Marker, displayed the definitions separated by a | or , on the same line instead of omitting the dictionary name. I've included a few screenshots to illustrate what i mean.

With memento and {glossary} memento-noncompact With memento and {glossary-brief} memento-brief With yomichan yomichan

I think the last screenshot, would be an ideal solution for readability and compactness. Since some words have quite a few definitions this would eliminate the need for scrolling on most cards.

Awesome job with this tool by the way! I think it's the best one out there for watching Anime.

I'm not going to change the behavior of {glossary-brief} just because there may be people who depend on the current behavior and don't expect it to change. I see no problem adding a new option called {glossary-compact} that does what you want. It shouldn't take long. I'll probably get it done this weekend.

Thank you for the praise. I don't really say it, but it's always nice to get feedback, good or bad.

That's fair. I would have considered it an upgrade to the current behaviour. But adding a new option is a safe call. I'm looking forward to the update!
