In the spirit of a friend's recent post about jargon (and simply because I'm in a geeky mood and wanted to do something coding-related tonight anyway), I am updating my journal's style to include the use of specially styled coding for designating jargon keywords within the text of entries, for the purpose of making my writing clearer to those unfamiliar with the jargon I habitually use. For anyone who has seen the WanderingPaths Website, this stylization is already in use there. You can see it on the main page where I use it to define otherkin for curious visitors unfamiliar with the term. I have also used it for the same word in this post, so that people will not be forced to leave their friends page to view the example. The definition is viewable simply by hovering one's cursor over the indicated keyword and waiting for the alternate "title" text to appear.
The code used for this effect is: <span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1em; border-bottom: 1px dotted purple;" id="word" title="definition">Word</span>
