Shotline Diving – Reference Documentation
Glossary of Wreck, Dive & Research Terms
This glossary is the “translation layer” for the Shotline archive. It explains the terms you’ll see across wreck records, reference entries, maps, and dive planning notes — with short rollover definitions and full term pages for deeper context.
How to Use the Glossary
On pages across Shotline, some terms will show a short definition when you hover (or tap on mobile). If you want the full explanation, click through to the term page.
Tooltips in Page Text
Use this in Gutenberg (Shortcode block or inline in HTML blocks):
[sld_gloss]Mooring[/sld_gloss] → rollover definition
[sld_gloss link="1"]Mooring[/sld_gloss] → tooltip + link to full entry
Tip: keep the short definition in the Excerpt field of the glossary term. That’s what the rollover uses.
Quick Guide
- Hover a tooltip term to see the short definition.
- Tap on mobile to reveal the same tooltip.
- Click the term to open the full glossary entry (when linked).
- Edit definitions by updating the glossary term excerpt.
Shotline Standard
This glossary supports the “no touching the wrecks” approach: definitions and terminology are here to improve consistency and preservation — not to encourage contact or alteration of sites.
