Configuration

Add a page of type "AbbrevationPage" or "ExplanationPage" to your CMS. There you can add new abbreviations or explanations
in the gridfield.

You can link to this abbreviations in the CMS using the bundled shortcodes, use the UI for selecting the abbreviation.

The listings page lists all abbreviations or explanations in alphabetical order, grouped by first letter. You might update
the templates to fit your needs.

You can add the abbreviations and explanations to google sitemap if you have the GoogleSitemap module installed. Just
add to your mysite/_config.php:

GoogleSitemap::register_dataobject('Abbreviation', 'weekly', '0.5');

TODO

• create new abbreviation or explanation directly in shortcode UI? Using AddNew button this could be possible.
  Maybe we have to tweak shortcodable controller for that?
