popText v1.0 by Philip Suh phil@filsa.net

This macro creates a HTML form popup menu, which, although non-functional as a form, adds a measure of low-tech interactivity. Use for definitions, sidebars, quotes and tips. Inspired by "June Cohen on forms" on www.webmonkey.com.

Note: this macro is the same as the htmlPopText.grinder script. It does not have the built in random quote functionality that htmlPopText does.

Okay, the nitty gritty:

string: The string you want to appear in a popup menu. linelength: The max length of the popupmenu. Defaults to 40.

title: Optional. The first line of the popup--will appear above string with a dividing line between.

divider: Default = true. Only appears if title is defined.

dividerchar: default = "_". Only appears if title is defined. Can be a string.

indentlength: Want your string indented? This is optional.
