Testing Create Tooltips in a Post

Post by rockedge »

Code: Select all

 [TT=<tooltip text>]<marked text>[/TT]
HereTop left corner is one of the relatively safe locations to place a tooltip.

This concept of a tooltip emulation still needs more testing and refinement.
Unlike in "real" tooltips the tooltip text can be selected and copied. We find this useful.

Generally tooltip are useful for explaining code like echo -nOption -n does not append a newline "Hello World",
characters like ‎🐶Unicode U+1F436 DOG FACE or an image like Image Official Puppy icon, depicting a ‎panda.
HereBottom left corner is one of the critical locations to place a tooltip. Tooltips don't adjust position automatically

[EDIT]

As of 2022-10-01 the [TT] tag has been replaced by an improved [tooltip] tag

Aaaahhh, evolution in progress...
David Attenborough would be very interested in this previously unknown branch of phylogeny I suspect.
