I think the key is ALT, as in:

&ltA HRef="reallylonglink.html" ALT="reallylonglink">

This would be a good idea, since the subjects barely fit in the space provided on the main page. Visual C++ does the same thing in the ClassView: if a function name is too long to fit in the window, the tooltip of it is the full name. You know?

Title is better if you're using a later HTML version. Alt only works on a few tags, but title works for nearly everything. I've got loads of <span title="..."> tags littered around my website )

Does this work?

(Don't mind me, just checking HTML. I'll try not to exploit HTML too often though.)
