<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Case sensitive matching</B></P>
-<P>This setting specify if an entry should be found with the exact case as it is in order to be automatically linked.
-<p>Note that this flag does not limit that a concept could be contained insidee another: Use the Whole Words Matching flag instead.
+<P>This setting specifies whether matching exact upper and lower case is
+ necessary when performing automatic linking to these entries.</p>
+
+<p>For example, if this is turned on, then a word like "html" in a forum
+ posting will NOT be linked to a glossary entry called "HTML".</p>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Description</B></P>
-<P>It should describe the purpouse of this glossary, who will be able to post new entries, etc.

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Display format</B></P>
-<P>This setting specify the way the entries will be shown within the glossary. The system has two built-in formats: Default and continuous.
-<ul>
-<il>The default view is simple. It looks like a conventional dictionary. No author. Attachment are shown as links.</il>
-<il>Continuous shows the entries one after other without any kind of separation but the editing icons.</il>
-</ul>
-<p>Also, there are three more display formats:
-<ul>
-<il>Full with Author: A forum-like display format showing author's data. Attachments are shown as links.</il>
-<il>Encyclopedia: Quite like Full with Author but shows the attached images inline.</il>
-<il>FAQ: A sort of FAQ. It automatically appends the words QUESTION and ANSWER in the concepto and definition respectivelly.</il>
-<il>Full without Author: A forum-like display format that does not show author's data. Attachments are shown as links.</il>
-</ul>
+<P>This setting specifies the way that each entry will be shown within the glossary. The default formats are:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<dl>
+<dt><b>Simple Dictionary</b>:</dt>
+<dd>looks like a conventional dictionary with separate entries. No authors are displayed and attachments are shown as links.</dd>
+<dt><b>Continuous</b>:</dt>
+<dd>shows the entries one after other without any kind of separation but the editing icons.</dd>
+<dt><b>Full with Author</b>:</dt>
+<dd>A forum-like display format showing author's data. Attachments are shown as links.</dd>
+<dt><b>Full without Author</b>:</dt>
+<dd>A forum-like display format that does not show author's data. Attachments are shown as links.</dd>
+<dt><b>Encyclopedia</b>:</dt>
+<dd>Like 'Full with Author' but attached images are shown inline.</dd>
+<dt><b>FAQ</b>:</dt>
+<dd>Useful for displaying lists of Frequently Asked Questions. It automatically appends the words QUESTION and ANSWER in the concept and definition respectively.</dd>
+</dl>

<hr>
-<p>If you want to create your own format, you should create a .PHP file and give it a number as its name. See into mod/glossary/formats which should be the next number. Note that numbers 0 and 1 are reserved.
-<p>Then, create a function called <b>glossary_print_entry_by_format($course, $cm, $glossary, $entry)</b> and dump all your creativity on it.
-<p>The last step is to insert a new entry in every language pack you use called <b>displayformat[number]</b>, and give it a short but meaningful description.
+<p>Moodle Administrators can create new formats as follows:
+<ol>
+<li> Look in mod/glossary/formats ... you should see a numbered file for every existing format.
+<li> Copy one of these and call it another number N (note that 0 and 1 are reserved).
+<li> Edit this file accordingly to create your own format (some PHP knowledge required).
+<li> Finally, insert a new entry in every language pack you use called <b>displayformatN</b>, and give it a short but meaningful name.
+</ol>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Whole words matching</B></P>
-<P>If you stablish that an entry could be automatically linked from other resources, then,
-if you set this flag also, only those concepts which words match completelly with this entry, will be linked.
-<p>Note that this flag does not force the match of the case. Use the Case Sensitive flag instead.
\ No newline at end of file
+<p>If automatic linking is enabled, then turning this setting on will force only
+ whole words to be linked.
+
+<p>For example, a glossary entry named "construct" will not create a link inside the word "constructivism".</p>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Defining the main glossary of the course</B></P>
-<P>The system allows to export entries from any secondary glossary to the main one of the course.
-<p>In order to do this, you should specify which glossary is the main one.
-<p>Note: You can have only one main glossary per course and its entries could be updated or deleted by teachers only.

-<P>This resource allows to create and maintain a dictionary or a list of definitions.<br />
-The entries could be created by teachers or by students and can be shown in different formats.<br />
-You can search for terms. The glossary also allows to export entries from one glossary to another (the main one) within the same course.

-<P>If you stablish that a glossary or an entry should be automatically linked, the entries affected will be automatically linked whenever they are found in other resources (forums, comments, etc).
-<p>If you do not want a specific entry to be linked, you should insert it between the <nolink> and </nolink> tags in the source of the HTML.
-<p>Also, if a category is found, it will also be linked. Note that category linking is case sensitive.
+<P>Turning this feature on will allow the entries in this glossary to be automatically linked whenever

+ postings, internal resources, week summaries, journals and so on. </p>
+
+<p>If you do not want particular text to be linked (in a forum posting, say) then you should add <nolink> and </nolink> tags around the text.</p>
+
+<p>Note that category names are also linked.</p>
