 * In order to keep a large table clearly I want to show to each cell of the table
   by mouse over a small text (10 words) with additional information. This information
   could, for example, be taken from a hidden table column.
    For instance: showed
   cell content: “test-result: bad”; hovering text by mouse over: “product fell 
   apart after 2 hours operation”
 * How could this be implemented?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For this, you could maybe take a look at the various tooltip plugins that are
   available. Those should work fine in tables.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * are there any tooltip plugins you know work with tablepress? And, ideally, work
   with the current version of wordpress?

 * Hi,
 * probable. Unfortunately, I’m not really into such plugins so that I can not make
   direct recommendations.
 * Most of them should work just fine inside tables. If they don’t, it’s often just
   the internal caching that they can’t work around. In that case, it might help
   to turn off that caching, by adding another parameter to the Shortcode:
    `[table
   id=123 cache_table_output=false /]`
 * Regards,
    Tobias
