Text Hover WordPress Plugin
Add hover text to regular text in posts. Handy for providing explanations of names, terms, phrases, and acronyms mentioned in posts/pages.
This plugin allows you to easily define help text that appears when a visitor hovers their mouse over a word or phrase in a post or page.
Via the plugin's settings, simply specify the words or phrases that you want to be associated with hover text, and of course, the desired hover texts themselves. The format is quite simple; an example of which is shown here:
WP => WordPress
Matt => Matt Mullenweg
The Scooby Shack => the bar where the gang hangs outAdditional features of the plugin controlled both via settings and filters:
- Hover text can be enabled for comments (it isn't by default)
- Hover text can be made case insensitive (it is case sensitive by default)
- Hover text can be limited to doing only one replacement per term, per post (by default, all occurrences of a term are given hovertext)
