There needs to be something about setting the HTML title element on links. The title attribute also works as a tooltip.
Examples show the title attribute set in image links in double quotes adjacent to the right side of the image file reference.
[[URL|image"title attribute text"]]
see: https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Images#links
This will not work for a text link. I had an extremely difficult time finding that this works for a text link by putting the title attribute text in double quotes adjacent to the left side of the URL
[[https://pmwiki.org"title attribute text"|PMWiki]]
This works - mouse over the link and see the tooltip:
[[https://pmwiki.org"title attribute text is here"|PMWiki with HTML title attribute set]] |
This will not work:
[[https://pmwiki.org|PMWiki with HTML title attribute set"no title attribute text is here"]] |
PMWiki with HTML title attribute set"no title attribute text is here" |
I also found the title/tooltip being adjacent to the URL appears to work too.
Someone didn't consider this to be "basic", so it is documented in Links#tooltiptitle. In fact, Attach: with a picture was implemented by Pm, then later I added it for external links, and even later for page links. The "Attach:" prefix is an InterMap prefix for PmWiki (like "https:") so these use the same logic. --Petko
