CM Tooltip Guide: Adding Index Pagination to your WordPress Glossary
The CM Tooltip Glossary plugin Pro, pro+ and eCommerce editions let you add index Pagination to your glossary, and specify how many terms should appear on each page. This is particularly recommended for achieving ease of navigation on large glossaries.
