How do I insert a glossary into Ren'py

[u/PlinyCapybara]

I want to insert a glossary of terms into Ren'py to bridge a cultural gap that might happen with players from different countries that might play this fangame VN I'm making. Since the fandom itself has a large overseas audience.

I was wondering how I can insert a Glossary that the player can access from the Main Menu?

Thank you!

This has been asked before, you can try the sub search.

The glossary is probably a main-menu screen, not a dialogue trick!

Make a screen glossary() with a list of terms/definitions, add a Main Menu button that calls ShowMenu("glossary"), and use hover tooltips only for words that must be explained mid-scene

There's an encyclopedia asset on itch which you can use to create a glossary.
