This is a Work-in-progress experiment tool to make living glossaries Webpages using simple Python, Javascript, and CSS from an Etherpad/Markdown file.
**What makes it living?**
* The glossary structure uses the idea of 'gloss' that means annottation and layer. It makes the glossary a layering of anotations rather than a list of definitions. The pad template uses each word as a card with multiple annotations. See the example.
* Being written in a markdown file makes it permeable to changes, new elements and transformations.
* It also offers the option of add properties to each word in order to find connections and multiple types of organization between them.
PD: This tool is also published as a JupyterLab notebook which makes easier to run. Find here how to install JupyterLab in your computer and here the notebook. It would simplify the process of writing the Glossary environment.
# How to use it?
If you are interested into make a glossary that you can expand and easily manipulate via markdownfile. You can write any name of in the input field, this will create a new glossary environment.
# What do you need?
