+The \includegraphics[width=0.7cm,clip=true]{mActionTextAnnotation} text
+annotation tools in the attribute toolbar provides the possibility to
+place formated text in a balloon on the QGIS map canvas. Use the text
+annotation tool and click into the map canvas.

+
+Double click on the item opens a dialog with various options. There is the
+text editor to enter the formated text and other item settings. E.g. there
+is the choice of having the item placed on a map position (displayed by
+a marker symbol) or to have the item on a screen position (not related
+to the map). The item can be moved by map position (drag the map marker)
+or by moving only the balloon.
+
+The \includegraphics[width=0.7cm,clip=true]{mActionAnnotation} move annotation
+tool allows to move the annotation on the map canvas.

+
+Additionally you can also create your own annotation forms. The
+\includegraphics[width=0.7cm,clip=true]{mActionFormAnnotation} form annotation
+tool is useful to display attributes of a vector layer in a customised qt
+designer form (see Figure \ref{fig:custom-annotations}). It is similar to the
+designer forms for the identify tool, but displayed in an annotation item.
+Also see QGIS blog \url{http://blog.qgis.org/node/143} for more information.
