Ivo.Radulovski commentedthe title tag is important for SEO reasons - any idea how it can be filled automatically with more info than the link text itself?

rsvelko commentedYup the title tag is important I know.
It is possible and simple to include it - in the next glossify version. For now i will make the title be equal to the link-text.
It would be best to have a way to give more words in the title if we wish to.
I know exactly how:
- the future glossify will be merged with the simpler Alinks module
- there will be 2 modes of operation:
- basic - you create terms 1 by 1 in the admin UI and manage them there
- advanced - you define the algorhytm for linking
In basic mode the title attribute can be given while defining the term in the admin UI.
In adv. mode there is only one way - glossify to use hook_nodeapi to insert a text field in the node edit form (no cck burden needed here). So you will be able to override the title per node. If needed some central php-snippet mode is possible too.
A similar approach will be used for the synonyms feature.

rsvelko commentedlatest stable has title attributes in the links. They are equal to the link text.

Ivo.Radulovski commentedHello,
custom Links defined for synonyms should have attributes like id,rel (for nofollow or jquery, lightframe,...), class (for css), title, what ever...
this is quite important and so sponsored partially by me. If someone else is interested please contact rsvelko....

Everett Zufelt commentedAlthough I know that it isn't the primary reason for the issue, I'd like to provide some clarity on an anchor title attribute and accessibility.
1. Most screen-readers do not read the title attribute on anchors if there is link text.
2. Most user agents do not make the content in the title attribute available through keyboard alone.
This doesn't mean that title shouldn't be used, I just wanted to provide some additional information. I am not aware of an accessibility guideline that would require an anchor with link text to fail for not having a title attribute set.
