Add title to add class

[sujato]

texts have helper classes that indicate various aspects of the text.

One such class is add which you can see if you go here and search for 'womb':

The added text is a different color. But it should have a title attribute saying something like "Text added by translator or editor". This is probably no the only broken class!

The list of classes is here:

These are broken on the old site, too.

I 100% agree that it is unclear to the readers why the text is a different colour.

I'm not sure what the reasoning behind abandoning the convention of putting added text in brackets. I admit it is kind of an academic convention, but frankly fussing about added words is an academic issue.

Titles are really flaky and are useless on touch devices/non mouse users. I'm not sure what the screen reader/accessibility issues with titles are, but they can't be good.

Also, even with a title/tool tip "Text added by translator or editor", the average reader won't understand why the text has been added. So although it seems like we are giving people more information with a tool tip, it's actually opening up more questions.

My feeling is that we should just go back to convention and use CSS ::before and ::after pseudo classes.

But…

On some legacy texts the author already puts in some kind of mark. Here is a Japanese legacy text. add class is purple to make it more clear:

And this is further complicated by the fact that in these Japanese legacy texts there are 〔〕 items for added words to make the translation work and （ ） items that are added explications.
