Can I use complex HTML with Twitter Bootstrap's Tooltip?

Question

If I check official documentation, I can see a property called HTML:

Name    |    Type       |    default  |    Description
---------------------------------         


        

Answer 1

Just as normal, using data-original-title:

Html:

Visible text

Javascript:

$("[rel=tooltip]").tooltip({html:true});

The html parameter specifies how the tooltip text should be turned into DOM elements. By default Html code is escaped in tooltips to prevent XSS attacks. Say you display a username on your site and you show a small bio in a tooltip. If the html code isn't escaped and the user can edit the bio themselves they could inject malicious code.
