Wikidot community administrator RobElliott has discovered an undocumented feature that you can use while embedding images into your wikidot page!
The title attribute for [[image ...]], which I'm about to add to the documentation, allows you to specify extra information about an image, which is then displayed by the browser as mouse-over text.
Accompanying HTML for this is as follows:
<img src="happy.gif" alt="Happy face" title="Happy face" />
Here's the Wikidot equivalent:
[[image happy.gif alt="Happy face" title="Happy face"]]
And, in action! Hold your mouse over the image for a second or two until you see the mouse-over text.
Image source: Google image search, resulting in an image from adelaideeasters.com.au
Isn't that a guinea pig, instead of a bunny? :)
Now, seriously, very nice tip. Thanks!

Actually, I think you're right! That goes to show that typing "bunny" into Google Image search doesn't necessarily give you what you want :) I'll fix the mistake… thanks for pointing it out!
Also, glad to have helped!

Hm, I already knew that… And for a quite while… And I used to use this in my front page until I changed the looks and the system in which I use data forms now…
And someone must have told me how to do it, because I am not so computerly clever to figure it out by myself ;). This means that Wikidot has this documented, but who knows where, maybe in old howtos…? Or someone told me in the Forum… I don't know. But I am surprised that this wasn't documented, precisely because I have used this for years…
