Wikilookup is a JavaScript library that enables you to add quick information from Wikipedia and other wikis.
Are you looking for the Wordpress plugin? It's here!
To use Wikilookup, include it in your page:
<script src="../dist/jquery.wikilookup-1.0.0.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.wikilookup-1.0.0.min.css">
Call the plugin on the DOM element that holds your text.
$( '.content').wikilookup();
By default, the plugin looks for elements tagged by data-wikilookup property.
You can change that property by providing an alternative selector:
$( '.content').wikilookup( { selector: '.someClass' } );
Wikilookup manages the operation of fetching the data and creating a display, but it is agnostic as to where that display is placed. Deciding where the results appear is up to you.
The view for each lookup word is stored in the data-wl-widget data attribute of that node. The presentation jQuery object is stored in the $element property of that object. You can call for it and display it wherever you want.
See the demos for an example.
For information about the configuration, visit the demo page.
Wikilookup is an open source project. Please feel free to submit issues and/or pull requests.
