symtips = on | off
The symtips command is used to provide a tooltip for most chess symbol GIF images. These tooltips define what the symbol means in plain language. When viewers of your page hover their mouse over a GIF chess symbol, they will be shown its meaning. At the moment, all the tooltips for symbols are in English only. Here is an example of a symbol tooltip: ![]() Some chess symbols do not use any GIF images at all. These symbols are generally constructed using a combination of the '!' and '?' characters to indicate good or bad moves. Because these symbols do not have a GIF image, no tooltip is provided for them. One other such symbol is the symbol for equality, or '='. Below is a table of the chess symbols and their associated tooltip: ![]() Note that in order to be able to use these symtips, that you must also have set symbolmethod to gif.
