How can I link an external URL to an internal image and a shown tooltip?

[heusmich]

Hi everyone,

I want to add an external URL link to an internal image and additionally show a tooltip when hovering with the mouse on the shown image. Is this somehow possible?

Until now I was able to add an external URL to an internal image, but I don´t know how to add the tooltip.

I used the following format:

 <a href="URL" target="_blank">[img[image.png]]</a>

I tried to add tooltip="name_of_tooltip" between URL and target but it´s not working.

If it´s not possible with this format, can anybody tell me a format or a way that I can use to get this working?

Best regards

The standard HTML syntax for adding a tooltip to a link uses the `title` attribute, like this:

```

<a href="URL" title="tooltip text" target="_blank">[img[image.png]]</a>

```
Alternatively, you can use the TW wikitext syntax for adding a tooltip to an internal image, like this:

```

<a href="URL" target="_blank">[img[tooltip text|image.png]]</a>

```

enjoy,

OK, both things are working.

Thank you very much, have a nice evening!
