Thanks for the lead on JSX, I'll take a look at that.

Ok, that works great.
So I'm hoping to wire up this Glossary App plus the JSON to a
highlighting
script written in JS, the idea is that the words
that appear in the
glossary will be highlighted on any wiki page in which they appear. Not
knowing much about velocity at all, I figured this could be implemented
by
parsing the body of the wiki content in search of
any matching
words/phrases, and mark them up with <abbr> tags, tooltips, etc. In
order
for this to work I need to be able to add some
custom JS to each page on
the wiki, which I am guessing I can do by modifying the skin, and using
your helpful link trick to load the latest JSON into my highlighting
script.
In fact we have already this on a project, but we could not get to
fully publish it as an extension.
The way it was done was to generate the annotations on the server side
with a script at night.
This is quite easy to do as you just need to update the annotations
(which are comments in recent versions) in XWIki Objects
At some point this code should be published but I cannot tell when.
This was found to be much more efficient than to do it in real time in JS
If you want to go the JS way, use JSX
Ludovic, since you are obviously intimately
familiar with XWiki, is
there a
better (server-side) way to achieve a glossary or
acronym database
functionality? Again I'm looking to dynamically add links to existing
wiki
content based on a set of words and definitions
that appear in an XWiki
app.
