A word cloud is a visual representation of keywords. Words are displayed in larger sizes the more often they are used.
The plugin word cloud provides two services for creating word clouds using two different methods:
The"Word Cloud" service is based on article content, while the"Label Cloud" service is based on content labels.
Here's an example of a word cloud:
Word cloud service
Select a site page and a zone of your choice.
Go to the "Add a service" menu and click on "Word cloud" to insert the service.
In this service, the contributor selects the words he or she wishes to be displayed.
The words in the cloud appear in different sizes (6 possible sizes) according to the number of times they appear in the content concerned.

If you select more than one type of content, the user will be able to choose the type of content from a drop-down list. If a page displaying the results is defined in the "search page" field, the Search Engine service settings will be overwritten. | no |

Label cloud service
Select a site page and a zone of your choice.
Go to the "Add a service" menu and click on "Word cloud" to insert the service.
This service is similar to the "Word cloud" service, except that the word cloud is no longer based on a list of words, but on one or more content tags.
The words in the cloud are therefore formed by the labels of the content tags belonging to the chosen categories.
The words in the cloud appear in different sizes (6 possible sizes) depending on the number of contents bearing the label concerned.
