User blog comment:Andisimon/Walkthroughs - hover formatting vs normal text?/@comment-34967350-20181026131538/@comment-3452092-20181027163553

Hover really isn't that complicated, at least it doesn't seem that way to me. It's just a template. The easiest way to handle templates is to edit in source mode. This shows you the exact wording. Basically for the hover template, you put 2 braces, the word hover, a bar, what the part you want to be seen when you hover is, another bar, the words you want seen, and then finally two more braces facing the opposite way. Describing that sounds complicated, I think, so I'll just include an example.

looks like this in source mode:

I don't know if either of you use source mode, but I use it on both my computer and my iPad seeing as I have it set in preferences that this is how I want to edit. I have actually gotten to the point where I look at visual and go. . . what on earth is this. I have trouble dealing with visual. How sad is that.
