Glossary & Profiles

Glossary terms and learner profiles are normal Hugo content pages, not hidden data files.

Glossary entries

Create entries in content/glossary/:

hugo new glossary/new-term.md

Minimal example:

+++
title = "Formative Assessment"
summary = "A quick way to learn what participants understand while teaching is still in progress."
weight = 10
+++

Reference a glossary term inline with:

{{< glossary formative-assessment >}}

Profiles

Create profiles in content/profiles/:

hugo new profile/workshop-host.md

Reference a profile inline with:

{{< profile workshop-host >}}

Why this content model works well

• entries have their own URLs and summaries
• glossary and profile list pages come for free
• links are validated by the shared checker
• styling stays consistent with the rest of the lesson

Validation rules

The shared validator reports broken glossary and profile references, so typos in shortcode targets do not quietly ship.
