Display format

This setting specifies the way that each entry will be shown within the glossary. The default formats are:

Simple Dictionary:

looks like a conventional dictionary with separate entries. No authors are displayed and attachments are shown as links.

Continuous:

shows the entries one after other without any kind of separation but the editing icons.

Full with Author:

A forum-like display format showing author's data. Attachments are shown as links.

Full without Author:

A forum-like display format that does not show author's data. Attachments are shown as links.

Encyclopedia:

Like 'Full with Author' but attached images are shown inline.

FAQ:

Useful for displaying lists of Frequently Asked Questions. It automatically appends the words QUESTION and ANSWER in the concept and definition respectively.

Moodle Administrators can create new formats as follows:

1. Look in mod/glossary/formats ... you should see a numbered file for every existing format.
2. Copy one of these and call it another number N (note that 0 and 1 are reserved).
3. Edit this file accordingly to create your own format (some PHP knowledge required).
4. Finally, insert a new entry in every language pack you use called displayformatN, and give it a short but meaningful name.
