{Keyworder} - Manage Keywords With A Smile

{Keyworder} v1.0 is a lightweight and versatile jQuery plugin providing an easy way to manage your content keywords, acronyms and abbreviations in a tooltiped way.

Why use this plugin?

If you need to maintain keywords, acronyms, abbreviations or any particular terms in your content, this could be a very convenient, smart and effortless solution. On the other hand, users will appreciate the presence of visual helpers whenever ‘mysterious’ or technical words are encountered in your text.
If you need to perform operations on your text, such as, converting values into formatted numbers, or for example generate links from plain text URLs, or detect smileys, or why not all of that at the same time, this plugin will save you a lot of headaches and will put a smile on your face
