If you install John Rankin's
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MarkupExtensions recipe, you'll
have a new, inline {:term:term definition} markup. With this, the
portion between the opening "{:" and the second ":" will appear
on-screen with a fine, dotted underscore; when the reader's mouse
hovers over that screen-text, the portion after the second ":" pops up
like a "tool-tip".

You can see how it works all over the page
http://intranet.affinity.co.nz/pmwiki2/index.php/Main/MarkupQuickReference,
where John uses it to illustrate many of the other features added by
the MarkupExtensions recipe.
