Tooltip on general text in markdown
Current behavior
You can only add a tooltip to a text if it's a link like this:
[Boostnote](https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote "This is Boostnote's repository")
.
Expected behavior
I would like to be able to add a text on hover to texts that are not links, something like this:
[Boostnote]("Hover text")
Steps to reproduce
N/A
Environment
- Boostnote version: 0.13.0
- OS version and name: macOS Mojave
This can be achieved with the following syntax. Note that this will highlight this word through the entire note.
### Abbreviation
The HTML specification
is maintained by the W3C.
*[HTML]: Hyper Text Markup Language
*[W3C]: World Wide Web Consortium
A workaround to get this functionality right away is to use:
[Display text](a "Hover text")
The link a
won't do anything.
Making the link field optional could be a nice feature to no longer need this workaround.
P.S.: I recommend you update your Boostnote to the latest version 0.15.3
I tried the abbreviation syntax but I wanted to highlight just one word. I updated to the latest version and will use the workaround for now, thanks!
Hey just use this:
[id1]: ## "your hover text"
This is a [hover text][id1] example.
Or this:
This is a [hover text](## "your hover text") example.
Works very well

Helped me a lot. Thanks!!!
None of the recommendations really work as in each case, a link is created that really does something if i click it. It either directs to the page a that doesn't exist or it directs to the position ## that adds a direction to the browsing history. In addition, it looks like a link.

It is possible that they changed how GitHub handles the double #. In my case it worked, but I also haven’t used it in a while.
GitHub? The browser handles links, not GitHub.
