## Description

MKB Glossar provides glossary terms, optional automatic links within supported content
and accessible tooltips for the resulting links.

Features include:

 * Dedicated WordPress glossary term management, including short definitions and
   synonyms.
 * Shortcode, Gutenberg block, and optional Elementor widget for glossary overviews.
 * Enable or disable the three Elementor widgets separately; existing installations
   keep all enabled until changed.
 * Automatic linking with per-content and per-term limits, off by default.
 * Protected HTML contexts to avoid nested links and changes to existing links or
   code.
 * Language-aware terms, URL bases and overview output when supported language providers
   are installed.
 * Adjustable tooltip presentation with keyboard and touch behavior.
 * Built-in, offline-accessible handbook and contextual explanations in the WordPress
   administrator.
 * CSV import/export with preview, field mapping and conflict controls.
 * Manual related terms and sources, optional external targets and case-sensitive
   recognition.
 * Optional site-wide Elementor Free saved-container design for sources and related
   terms, with a native fallback.
 * Structured Schema.org DefinedTerm data on published glossary entries (opt-out
   in settings).
 * Server-side public searching with a configurable 1–200 terms per loading batch,
   including smaller glossaries when a batch limit is chosen.
 * Central visual controls for references and related terms without Elementor, with
   clear theme inheritance and an illustrative preview.
 * Optional five-step getting-started guide: choose labels and a URL base, create
   content, build an overview, configure links and check appearance.
 * A downloadable CSV example using the same columns as the complete glossary export.
 * Separate glossary search field with live suggestions and direct term navigation
   for WordPress sidebars, Elementor Free and shortcodes.
 * When live suggestions are disabled, the standalone search remains a native form
   without loading its JavaScript.
 * Optional external-target symbol for glossary links that lead to another website;
   choose a built-in style or a custom image from the WordPress Media Library.
 * Protected passages without automatic glossary links in Gutenberg, Elementor and
   the classic editor.

MKB Glossar works independently of Elementor, Polylang, WPML and MKB Managed. These
integrations are optional.

### Human-readable source and development

All custom JavaScript and PHP used by the installed plugin is included as editable,

human-readable source inside this plugin package (assets/ and includes/). The release
does not ship separately compiled or obfuscated JavaScript bundles; there are no
additional build tools required to regenerate the shipped scripts. Development architecture,
security testing and release instructions are maintained with the complete development
source. This readme documents the shipped files so reviewers and future maintainers
can inspect them without private access.

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin ZIP through the WordPress administration or install from WordPress.
    org once the stable release is available.
 2. Activate MKB Glossar.
 3. On a new installation, the optional setup assistant opens once. You can skip it
    and manage everything from the glossary settings. You can restart it later under
    the plugin’s Settings > General.
 4. Confirm the URL base during setup or review it later under the plugin’s General
    settings. Configure optional automatic linking as needed.
 5. Place a glossary overview using the provided shortcode, block or Elementor widget.

## FAQ

### Does automatic linking start immediately?

No. Automatic glossary links are disabled by default and can be enabled in the glossary
settings.

### Do I need Elementor or a language plugin?

No. WordPress can run the glossary on its own. Additional integrations are activated
only if their host plugins are available.

### Is MKB Managed required?

No. MKB Managed can coordinate future release processes but is not a runtime requirement
for this free plugin.

### Can I still follow a glossary link on a touchscreen?

Yes. The first tap displays the tooltip; a second tap on the same term follows its
link.
