Hover box

Post by janicki »

Using hyperref package it is possible to make a box, which appears after hovering text. E.g.: \href{mailto:user@domain}{user@domain}
Is it possible in Latex to make such a box over normal text, which isn't a reference, hyperlink or something like that?

If I understand you right, then the fancytooltips package should be what you need.


Best regards
