a minimal, versatile annotating tool
annotater takes a target string (or regex) and hunts down every instance,
chops it out of it's text node, wraps it in a tag, and adds a tooltip.
this makes it perfect for annotating rendered markdown.
include the library, annotater.js, and use it
annotater({
name: 'stackoverflow.com',
tooltip: 'you will likely stumble upon it during every bug hunt'
});
annotater({
name: /foo|bar|baz/,
tooltip: 'this is a placeholder variable that means "you can use anything here"'
});
it's also availablie via bower install annotater
that's the gist, but it does more than tooltips: tooltip interpolation, function templating, live models, match replacement, jekyll friendliness, and more.
