Use <span title>


Add this to the byline of an article, and then auto include this as the hover text for the article link on the What's New page.
 <onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|byline}}}|byline|

Use Template for Hover Text

Original:

 [[Now Magazine, October 2, 2003|<span title="Tim Perlich reviews North.">Now Magazine, October 2, 2003</span>]]
}}Ending tag for the byline
 </onlyinclude>


Want to have the byline tags as a standard template to make this easier to insert.
There is a problem with having "<onlyinclude>" in a template.
Have tried many different points from web that people say fixes this, but it doesn't seem to for me.

This is the template, {{bylinebegin}}:
 <onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|byline}}}|byline| 

Opening bracket is "&-l-t-;", without the hypens bw each letter.


This is the template, {{bylineend}}:
 }}</onlyinclude>




Template:

 {{HoverLink|Now Magazine, October 2, 2003|Tim Perlich reviews North.}}


Template with no hover text:

 {{HoverLink|Now Magazine, October 2, 2003}}
