support customization of emoji appearance [use case: add hover text with keyword when shown in browser]

[pietroppeter]

(optional) provide emoji keyword as alt text (as inline html)

trying to find out what would be the appropriate html element I realized alt text is not it (supported on very little tags and not standard compliant, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_attribute). Instead it is title attribute that should be used, and I guess that tag should be a simple span.

as far as nimoji api is concerned, since this is a feature that is probably used consistently in a codebase, it could be implemented as a compile time symbol. Name of compile time symbol? nimojiHtml? nimojiTooltip? nimojiAddTitleAttribute?

default of course is not having it.

my confusion was probably tied to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/5wxgwl/alttext_for_emoji/ which produces title effect with markdown link and alt text. This is another option (also interesting if you want to add a link. I am actually thinking that probably the best way is to have an alternative emojize proc that also returns positions of emojis in text. This could be useful for many things including adding any html inline or markdown element that ones want.
