The Tooltip extension provides the ability to add fancy tooltips to wiki text. Unlike other extensions which provide similar functionality, this extension allows for multi-line wiki and/or HTML syntax text for the tooltip. Additionally, the tooltip itself is displayed in a fancy semitransparent window.

Tooltipfolder to yourextensions/directory.

Usage
There are two methods for using this extension in your wiki articles: via a Parser Function, and via a new Tag. These two methods are mutually exclusive and should NOT be interchanged on a given article in order to guarantee proper output.
<tooltip> Tag Format
Simply add the following text
<tooltip text="body text" x=xoffset y=yoffset>tooltip text</tooltip>
directly inline with your article, where the x= and y= parameters are optional.
{{#tooltip:}} Parser Function Format
Create a new Template called {{tooltip}} and add the following content to it
<includeonly>{{#tooltip: {{{1}}}|{{{2}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>Usage: <nowiki>{{tooltip | base text | tooltip text}}</nowiki> ({{tooltip | base text | tooltip text}})</noinclude>
To use this extension on your wiki article, simply call the template like so
{{tooltip | base text | tooltip text}}
Note: You can also modify the template wih the x= and y= parameters as optional parameters 3 and 4.
