How to add hover in markdown

note; I will write this code on javascript snippet
other wise md compiler will hide it.

Introduction

Tooltip is a way to show a text when you hover a item or link.
hover

//SYNTAX    
[ID]: ## 'MSG'
[LINK][HOVER MSG]
/*

[bbc][bbc]
*/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

alternative

[Visit dev.to](https://dev.to/ "tooltip thanks to johnblommers?")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
