This template takes two parameters (link=yes/no and dotted=yes/no), and creates underlined text with a hover box for many modern browsers supporting CSS.
Here are some ways to create mouse-over effects.
Using mouse-over effects on wiki text can improve usability.
Examples
Hover over me.
Syntax: <span title="Hello, how are you ?" >Hover over me.</span>
Using: Template:H:title
The default is a dotted underline
Hover here
- Syntax: {{H:title|This is mouse-over text|Hover here}}
Main page (with link)
- Syntax: {{H:title|link=yes|This link will take you to the Main page|Main page}}
To not have a dotted underline, add dotted=no
Hover here
- Syntax: {{H:title|dotted=no|This is mouse-over text|Hover here}}
Main page (with link)
- Syntax: {{H:title|link=yes|dotted=no|This link will take you to the Main page|Main page}}
- Notes
Template:H:title could be further developed with a 3rd parameter to deal with the situation where one wants to create a link (page name), a link alias, and mouse-over text.
In wiki text, this can presently be done like this:
link alias (note that the link goes to Wikiversity:Sandbox)
- Syntax: [[Wikiversity:Sandbox|<span title="mouse-over text">link alias</span>]] (note that the link goes to [[Wikiversity:Sandbox]])
