I'm loving the functionality of Glossify on my wiki-style website - it's just what I was looking for!

However, I find that I'm dealing with some 'false-positive' results, as might be expected. For example, Glossify links my glossary entry on the geographical term 'Mainland' to someone in my page content rather frustratingly called 'Mr Mainland'!

I was reading on this issue that a tag ([no-glossify]) had been developed(?) for the Drupal 6.x that would prevent Glossify linking to an enclosed term. However, I cannot seem to get this functionality to work with the 7.x Glossify version. Is this functionality missing from this branch, and, if so, would it be possible to add it in?

Alternatively, is there another workaround that you think might be possible? Someone on the thread above mentioned utilising a non-parsible tag... but I can't get this working either!

Thanks again for your hard work on this module - it's much appreciated!

After some further experimentation I've found that using a blank HTML anchor tag will prevent a term being glossified - ie. Mainland.

This presents me with a work-around, but I'd still be interested if you had any other suggestions for a (better?) way of going about this.

Thank you very much for your feedback patgibbs, it's good to have a workaround. Took some explaining to customers, but it is a working solution.

The blank HTML anchor tag negates the link/hover over, but it still enacts a format (link style) change. It also requires a manual edit for every instance across a site. Having a solution that automatically ignores certain phrases would be much more beneficial. Any input on how the module could be patched?
