Good afternoon I am using XMLMind XML Editor Professional Edition 8.2.0 to create a docmap and topics.
The Dita specification says that processors MAY choose to display the shortdesc element as a tooltip when users hover over a link within web output. Please can you let me know the extent of DITAC's implementation of tooltips. I cannot get the <shortdesc> from my topic files to display as a tooltip. I have managed to get tooltips to display for related information links created by a RefTable by using the <topicref><topicmeta><shortdesc> element. I want to be able to create similar tooltips for <term> and/or <xref> elements included in the body of my topics but cannot find how to do this. (these elements do not have <topicmeta> elements). I have tried using keyrefs to link <term> to either concept or glossdef topics but this does not display the <shortdesc> from the target concept files as a tooltip (glossdef do not have <shortdesc>). Is what I am trying to do (create hover text for terms and/or xref) possible in XMLMind? If it is possible, any advice you can offer on how to do it would be appreciated.
