Changing MouseOver Text for Links

When you hold your mouse over a link without clicking, sometimes some text appears. This text is called a mouseover or rollover. Depending on whether a link is internal or external, the mouseover/rollover text is either the name of the local wiki page (in case of internal links) or the destination URL saying it will open in a new window (in case of external links.

In order to change the mouseover/rollover text for these links, the span title tags need to be used.

Example:
The following link:

[http://www.gunthergifts.com/flasks.html
<span title="Flasks">Liquor Flasks</span>]

would make the words 'Liquor Flasks' an external link to http://www.gunthergifts.com/flasks.html, while rolling over the words 'Liquor Flasks' would display the text 'Flasks' only.

This would then display as the following: Liquor Flasks
