Strange request, creating a tooltip with HTML/CSS

The topic is probably a little confusing, sorry about that. What I am looking for is if someone has already coded up a tooltip box, as it looks in Warcraft 3, using CSS or HTML. I want to embed it in a webpage, but I don't want to take screenshots of all these tooltips, I'd rather just copy the text and use then generate it, like many of the WOW sites do for their tooltips.
I figured I would ask if anyone here has made something like this, or seen it anywhere on the web. (I already did an extensive Google search.)
Small bits of help would be useful too, like if you know what Hex color the background or border of a tooltip window is.
Thanks in advance!

The hexes you can easily find out with a program that has an eye dropper tool and a screenshot... But sorry, I don't have any script for that tooltip.

Could you direct me to a site that has one so that I can see what you mean?

You mean like in sites like DotA-Allstars, you highlight over the hero icon? And it displays the tooltip in-game and the setrenght, etc?

If that's what you want, I don't get why you don't just either open the source code for the websites and download the images (you can do that right?), or just take a screenshot and edit the box to your needs. I'm not great with those kinds of things, but that just seems like the easiest methods.

No, I don't want it to be a pop-up. I want it to be part of the page, but not an image, dynamically generated
I can't provide a link because I can't find a site that has this.

In that case, the only hard part would be the CSS to get the borders right, but you could just steal their CSS and mod it a bit to your liking. Echo'ing the data dynamically is very simple.

Basically, he wants something that changes tooltip code into html:

Code: 
|cffccff00   -->   <p color="#ccff00">

|r   -->   </p>

|n   -->   <br>

1. first two characters are ignored, as they specify transparency (and I don't think it is implemented into WC3 tooltips)

1 & 2. the "p" (paragraph) code can be changed, but this is just an example. :p

3. |n (newline) is the equivalent of (the ugly) <br> in html.

I think he just wants some program that parses and replaces the text for him.

No, I plan to do it myself, this is a project for a wiki. I just want to be able to display a something that looks like the tooltip they see in game.
I know the hard part is the CSS, and unfortunatly that's my weak point. Do you think Warcraft 3 tooltips look like WoW tooltips? If so I can just use their colors.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
