This brings up something I've been meaning to figure out for a while: is it possible to get to hovertext (on images or hyperlinks) on smartphones? Touchscreens don't really support mouseover, after all.

If not (and all my research indicates not), this would be rather annoying for me, as that's how I most frequently access the site.

I was thinking about this question today and had an idea: instead of putting a fake URL, link to a ROT-13 site like decode.org with a URL that decrypts to the desired text. Thus, if you wanted to say "Snow is white" in a spoilered fashion:

[Spoiler](http://decode.org/?q=Fabj+vf+juvgr "Snow is white").

equals

Spoiler.

Good question. I don't have a smartphone and don't know. And now I think a bit more about it, I wonder about screen readers. If screen readers indiscriminately read out links' title text then people using them would automatically get spoiled.
