What's that word mean anyway??

[Michael Morris]

I mean, folks argue about the [GLOSSARY]5-foot step[/GLOSSARY] and [GLOSSARY]alignment[/GLOSSARY] all the time, but ever wanted an official explanation for this craziness. Well, highlight the term and click on the book, then post.

Glossary - a new little feature, courtesy WotC.

Cool. I just noticed and came to test what it is, seeing this thread.
[GLOSSARY]Aberration type[/GLOSSARY], [GLOSSARY]Ooze type[/GLOSSARY].

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

That is really really cool!

 

[the Jester]

Er, what are you talking about?

[GLOSSARY]Incorporeal[/GLOSSARY]?

 

[the Jester]

Aha, figured it out- my popup blocker stops it from working unless I shift-click it. Got it.

 

[Berandor]

This is so cool!

 

[Hand of Evil]

sweet!

Aha! I get it. For those who are as confused as I was by this thread:

What Michael is talking about is a new feature while writing a post. You can highlight a word or phrase in your post, then click the book icon and it wraps GLOSSARY tags around the word. Then, if that word is in WotC's online glossary you get an automatic link that pops up their definition in a separate window.

That ROCKS. The question is: what happens if you misspell something or otherwise put in garbage. Does it still make a link (which is invalid) or does it not add the link?

Either way, test your posts!
