Experimenting "notetips" macro.

[Julio Peña]

Hello all,

I hope everyone is doing well and safe at home during these turbulent times.

I will need pointers on how to improve the little experimentation I'm undertaking.

I call it a "notetip". It's an implementation of the tooltip mechanism 

for quick reference "glances". I know there are many fine reference modules

developed by the community...however I wanted something rather simple

to continue the flow of writing.

Please click on the " Featured Samples" tab and let me know how I can improve upon

this little tool.

Thanking you all in advance,

Julio

I am not entirely sure I understand what improvement you are trying to make.

If the macros are meant to use fields from the same tiddler they are called in, try this to make the macro more reusable:

\define nt(text,field)

<$link to=<<currentTiddler>> class="no-click" tooltip="{{!!$field$}}">^$text$</$link>

\end

and call it like <<nt "[[4|nt-4]]" "nt-4">>

Hello there Saq,

Worked as prescribed...it was the improvement I was looking for.

Much appreciated. 

Thanks for the pointer!

Blessings,

This might make life even easier by simplifying the parameters to the macro to just the text to display, and the field.

\define nt(text,field)

<$link to=<<currentTiddler>> class="no-click" tooltip="{{!!$field$}}">^{[[$text$|$field$]]}</$link>

\end

<<nt "4" "nt-4">>

Oh man...u da man Saq...that is wonderful!

Thanks again!

Also give a try on this (Demo: Saq Notetip 1)

\define nt(text,field)

<$set name=tip tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> field=<<__field__>> >

<sup title=<<tip>> style="color:red; cursor:help;">$text$</sup> <<tip>>

</$set>

\end

```

As per Saq Imitaz's suggestion: it works as prescribed!

```

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,<<nt 1 "nt-1">> consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Change the style to meet your requirement!

Hi Julio,

 I am fine thank you! Hope you are fine in this pandemic!

I am sure you find the small mistake in the code I sent:

\define nt(text,field)

<$set name=tip tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> field=<<__field__>> >

<sup title=<<tip>> style="color:red; cursor:help;">$text$</sup>

</$set>

\end

There was a <<tip>> at end of line 3! 

Cheers
