I don't know the macro and I don't want to dive into it, but here is a starting point for you using pure CSS:
CSS Tiddler: span.strex:before { content:"... "; } span:strex > span { display: none; } span.strex:hover:before { content:""; } span.strex:hover > span { display:inline; } Strex is then used like this (without a macro, macro creation left as an excercise for the user) The ''TextStretch'' css is a great tool <span class="strex"><span>for you as an author of hypertext</span></span> to keep the message short. Your readers can discover more details easily. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
