 * Hi everybody
    How do I add html code in functions.php? Code html:
 * `<a href="#"> Tooltip <span> <img class="callout" src="src/callout.gif" /> <strong
   >Most Light-weight Tooltip</strong> This is the easy-to-use Tooltip driven purely
   by CSS. </span> </a>`
 * Code functions.php
 *     ```
       if (!function_exists('theme_get_post_thumbnail')){
       function theme_get_post_thumbnail($args = array()){
       global $post;
   
       $size = theme_get_array_value($args, 'size', array(theme_get_option('theme_metadata_thumbnail_width'), theme_get_option('theme_metadata_thumbnail_height')));
       $auto = theme_get_array_value($args, 'auto', theme_get_option('theme_metadata_thumbnail_auto'));
       $featured = theme_get_array_value($args, 'featured', theme_get_option('theme_metadata_use_featured_image_as_thumbnail'));
       $title = theme_get_array_value($args, 'title', get_the_title());
   
       $result = '';
   
       if ($featured && (function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())) {
       ob_start();
       the_post_thumbnail($size, array('alt' => '', 'title' => $title));
       $result = ob_get_clean();
       } elseif ($auto) {
       $attachments = get_children(array('post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'menu_order ID'));
       if($attachments) {
       $attachment = array_shift($attachments);
       $img = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, $size);
       if (isset($img[0])) {
       $result = '';
       }
       }
       }
       if($result !== ''){
       $result = '<div class="avatar alignleft">ID).'" title="'.$title.'">'.$result.'</div>';
       }
       return $result;
       }
       }
       ```

 * You can’t add html directly to a PHP file.
 * You will need to do some more research on how to implement what you want I can’t

 * You are confused. It looks like you are trying to use a tooltip script and you
   heard that you need to insert some code into the functions.php file. That, I 
   assure you, is not the code you actually need to put in the functions.php file.
   It is probably the markup you will need to have WordPress generate in the final
   output for the page you want to use it on. The code you need to put in functions
   is likely the code that sees the class “callout” and then runs on that.
 * Looks like you jumped into the deep end of the pool here. I suggest hiring someone
   to create your site for you, take a class on PHP and/or WordPress theme development,
   or spend weeks doing the research on your own.
 * If you are a do it yourself kind of person… buckle up. It’s a long ride. I’d 
   highly suggest the PHP courses at lynda.com. Once you have a semi-solid grasp
   on PHP (and some MySQL), you should be able to trudge through learning how WordPress
   works.
 * It is also possible, though not likely, that whoever created the tooltip code
   you want to use might be willing to help you or direct you to some very precise
   instructions.
 * Suffice it to say that there are tons of basics you need to know before this 
   forum will likely be of any help to you, unfortunately.

 * You need to add the css to your style.css file in your theme.
 * And every where you want a tooltip you need to add the markup like it says to
   each element you want a tooltip for:
 * `<a href="#" class="tooltip"> Tooltip <span> <img class="callout" src="src/callout_black.
   gif" /> <strong>Most Light-weight Tooltip</strong><br /> This is the easy-to-
   use Tooltip driven purely by CSS. </span> </a> <a href="#" class="tooltip"> <
   img src="../img/demo/css-tooltip-image.gif" /> <span> <img class="callout" src
   ="src/callout_black.gif" /> <strong>CSS only Tooltip</strong><br /> <img src="../
   img/demo/css-tooltip-image.gif" style="float:right;" /> Pure CSS popup tooltips
   with clean semantic XHTML. </span> </a>`

 * The instructions for what to do are actually on the page you directed us to. 
   It’s just that you don’t know enough about the different markup languages to 
   even know that they are instructions.
 * So here we go: Put the CSS code provided on that page at the bottom of your theme’s
   styles.css file. Then, when you create your posts, use the html editor, not the
   visual editor and put in the HTML code provided on that site.
 * If that doesn’t make sense to you, or you want it to work differently than it
   does, refer to my earlier post for options about learning the different coding
   languages.
