Factolex WordPress Plugins

February 25th, 2009 by Alex

Coincidentally not only one, but 2 WordPress plugins were released today.

First, we have an official WordPress Plugin: Factolex Glossary
Factolex Glossary WordPress Plugin

The plugin allows you to quickly add a glossary to your post or page, using facts from Factolex. Using it is very simple:

  1. First, you write your post (or open up an already written post),
  2. then you click the button “Check for terms”.
  3. We then look in the Factolex database and offer you to choose which of the terms you want to include in your glossary.
  4. So finally, you click the respective terms and select the meaning to be used. The term is then displayed in the sidebar box

By default a definition includes the term and its top fact. If you want to customize this, you can enter your Factolex username in the plugin settings

Download the Factolex Glossary plugin at the WordPress.org Plugin Repository. We have also set up a page that includes larger screenshots.

Also watch a screen cast here:

I have attached a glossary to this post, see below.

Secondly, Sebastian Moser (who also wrote the Factolex Greasemonkey Script) has been using his Factolex WordPress Plugin for quite a while on his blog already:
