+# Hover External Link Obsidian Plugin
+
+An [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) plugin that adds hover URL previews to external links in your rendered Markdown.
+
+## Installation
+
+### From in Obsidian
+
+🚧 Coming Soon! 🚧
+
+### Manually
+
+1. Download `main.js`, `manifest.json`, and `styles.css` from the [latest release](https://github.com/jamiebrynes7/obsidian-hover-external-link/releases/latest).
+2. Place them in `<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/hover-external-link/` folder (you'll need to create this).
+
+## Usage
+
+This plugin will add on-hover tooltips to all external links _if_ the text of the link is not the same as the URL. This only works in the preview mode.
+
+```md
+This link will have a hover tooltip: [Google](www.google.com). 
+
+This link won't: [www.google.com](www.google.com).
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+This plugin exposes two CSS variables that you can use to set the tooltip background and text color.
+
+```css
+.theme-light {
+  --link-tooltip-background: #333;
+  --link-tooltip-text: #fff;
+}
+
+.theme-dark {
+  --link-tooltip-background: #ccc;
+  --link-tooltip-text: #000;
+}
+```
