Add hover text to regular text in posts. Handy for providing explanations of names, terms, phrases, and acronyms mentioned in your blog.

Hover text are defined as terms/acronyms/phrasees that you expect to use in your blog posts and the expand text you wish to appear when the visitor hovers their mouse over the term. The admin options form for the plugin explains the format, which is quite simple. An example of which is shown here :

WP => WordPress
Matt => Matt Mullenweg
The Scooby Shack => the bar where the gang hangs out

Note: This is not the same as my (Text Replace)[http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/text-replace] plugin, which defines terms which you would use but that you want replaced by the associated replacement text when displayed on your blog. Text Hover adds the hover text as additional information for when visitors hover over the term, which is otherwise displayed in the post as you typed it.
