In Markdown, it goes like [displayed text](hyperlink "tooltip alt text"); in HTML I think it's an additional argument to <a> or <href> which goes title="tooltip alt text", so for my example above:

  • Markdown:

    [paranoid archiving for Internet links](http://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs "'Archiving URLs', gwern 2013")

  • HTML:

    <a href="<http://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs>" rel="nofollow" title="&#39;Archiving URLs&#39;, gwern 2013">paranoid archiving for Internet links</a>

This should probably be added to the official formating help page of lesswrong.
