In fact we have already this on a project, but we could not get to fully publish it as an extension. The way it was done was to generate the annotations on the server side with a script at night. This is quite easy to do as you just need to update the annotations (which are comments in recent versions) in XWIki Objects At some point this code should be published but I cannot tell when. This was found to be much more efficient than to do it in real time in JS If you want to go the JS way, use JSX > Ludovic, since you are obviously intimately familiar with XWiki, is there a > better (server-side) way to achieve a glossary or acronym database > functionality?
