Can I open the Encyclopedia in-game?

Is there a way to open the Encyclopedia inside of Rome 2 Total War, as opposed to opening it in a web browser? Are there any Mods that will do this?

I'm looking for similar to the way the encyclopedia worked in the original Rome Total War.

Clarification:

When I right click on a card, it automatically opens up the online encyclopedia as opposed to an in-game one. Does running it on a Mac have anything to do with it? Or is there some setting I need to turn on to enable the offline one?

You don't need mods for this.

Pretty much, right clicking on anything with a "Card" in the bottom of the screen will bring up the Encyclopaedia entry for that item. For example, when viewing your army, your can right click on one of the units to go to the relevant place. Or right click on a technology in the technology tree.

You can also press the F1 key, or the icon in the top-left of your screen, which will take you to the page for whatever "mode" you are in (battle, campaign). Helpfully, if you open the encyclopaedia while in a battle, it will pause it.

There are several options for openning up the encyclopaedia.
