This plugin creates scrollable information boxes that open when the mouse cursor moves over the text that requires explanation, which is marked like a DokuWiki tooltip, with double dotted underlining, as in “HTML”. The box stays open until the close button is clicked or until the user double clicks inside the box itself, or until another box is opened.

The text for the annotation can be entered directly into the current page or imported from a DokuWiki page. The syntax for these techniques is described below.

  <anno:num>text</anno><@anno:num>annotation</@anno>

num is a unique two digit number that identifies this annotation pair. The text is what is explained by annotation. In the browser this text will be identified by a double dotted underline. Please note that the mark-up for the text and the markup for the annotation are side-by-side:

  <anno:num>...</anno><@anno:num>...</@anno>    

1. <anno:10>text</anno><@anno:10>wiki text</@anno>
2. <anno:15>text</anno><@anno:15>{{ns:page}}</@anno>
3. <anno:20>text</anno><@anno:20><top>ns:page</top>wiki text<bottom>ns:page</bottom></@anno>
4. <anno:25>text</anno><@anno:25>wiki text<bottom>ns:pace:page</bottom></@anno>
5. <anno:30>text</anno><@anno:35><top>ns:page</top>wiki text</@anno>

• text: text to be annotated
• wiki text: the annotation entered directly into the current page
• ns:page: wiki page (namespace:page) to be loaded into the annotation from a file in the wiki
• top: marks off a header which will be loaded into the annotation from the specified wiki page
• bottom marks off a footer which will be loaded into the annotation from the specified wiki page

1. In this form, the entire annotation will consist of the wiki text
2. In this form the entire annotation will consist of the page loaded into the annotation field from ns:page
3. In this form the wiki text will be preceded by a header and followed by a footer
4. In this form the annotation will consist of the wiki text followed by a footer
5. In this form the annotation will consist of a header and the wiki text
