Note about title attributes in anchor tags

Merged Note about title attributes in anchor tags
github/fork/demeritcowboy/title-attributes into master
Merged homotechsual requested to merge github/fork/demeritcowboy/title-attributes into master

Created by: demeritcowboy

Separated out from https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-dev-docs/pull/751

This might not make complete sense on its own without 751, but it seems difficult to get the wording for this part right so separating it out.

103 For `title` attributes in `<a>` links, within CiviCRM these usually only appear in links that aren't within a larger block of text or where there is no clickable text, such as a datepicker icon. In this situation, the title text needs to be translated:
104
105 !!! failure "Bad"
106
107 ```smarty
108 {ts}<a href="https://www.example.org/civicrm/contact/view?cid=1" title="Go to the contact page">View Contact</a>{/ts}

111 !!! failure "Less bad"

      I was basing the example on existing defacto usage and I'm not clear myself whether there is a "good" way to do title attributes. I put "less bad" because you don't have the context that they go together.
