Link automatically all the highlighted words with the syntax [W:{term}] on the definition from Wikipedia.

Supposing {term} is the word for which we want to automatically create the link to the relative Wikipedia definition, it will be enough to use the following syntax:

[W:{term}]

Features:

  • modify the localisation code to set the Wikipedia language.
  • decide if the hypertextual link will be applied to the entire word or just the W apex added to the end of the word.
  • decide to apply the default style, or set your own CSS style.
  • decide if to add or not the rel=nofollow attribute to each link generated
  • supported languages of control panel: Italian, English, French (you can translate in your language using the added file cf_wikipedia.POT)
