Your glossary page can take advantage of definitions stored in a data file. This gives you the ability to reuse the same definition in multiple places. Additionally, you can use Bootstrap classes to arrange your definition list horizontally.
Edit me
You can create a glossary for your content. First create your glossary items in a data file such as glossary.yml.
Then create a page and use definition list formatting, like this:
<dl class="dl">
<dt id="fractious">fractious</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt id="gratuitous">gratuitous</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt id="haughty">haughty</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt id="gratuitous">gratuitous</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt id="impertinent">impertinent</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt id="intrepid">intrepid</dt>
<dd></dd>
</dl>
Here’s what that looks like:
- fractious
- gratuitous
- haughty
- gratuitous
- impertinent
- intrepid
The glossary works well as a link in the top navigation bar.
Horizontally styled definiton lists
You can also change the definition list (dl) class to dl-horizontal. This is a Bootstrap specific class. If you do, the styling looks like this:
- fractious
- gratuitous
- haughty
- gratuitous
- impertinent
- intrepid
If you squish your screen small enough, at a certain breakpoint this style reverts to the regular dl class.
Although I like the side-by-side view for shorter definitions, I found it problematic with longer definitions.
