User blog:AgentMuffin/Blue text in my posts?

So you might have seen that some of my posts have started having spots of blue text. If you put your mouse cursor over the blue text, a question mark appears (either near the cursor or replacing it outright ). In case you were wondering, this is not a glitch; it's a tooltip. Place the cursor over the blue text for a few seconds – without clicking – and you'll see some additional remark, definition, or thing that I decided to put in. I use the same effect in my signature; hover over the little question marks and you'll see a description of the link.

If you want to make a tooltip yourself, it's simple. Just copy the following HTML tag, and paste it into a Source-mode text box where you want the tooltip to begin.

Now see where it says "title="? Go between the quote marks and write what you want the tooltip to say.

The text doesn't have to be blue, either. You can change the color listed in "color:blue;" to any other common color name, to a hex color, or just delete "color:blue;" to keep the text black.

At the place where you want the tooltip to end, simply type the following:

There. Now you can switch back to Visual mode and admire your tooltip.
