The tooltip style glossary is now live. I've migrated a bunch of content from the old glossary but not everything. There is a known issue where if the keyword has a special character like "/" (e.g. A/C), it spits the dummy so those have been left out. It is configured to pop up on hover but I can change this to mouse click if it becomes annoying. Mods, you should be able to add more keywords, just don't add anything with a symbol in it (See above). Too the glossary in action, simply hover over the words below: H2O2 CBS HC
