## Default markup

Use the default markup to create tooltips that will help users understand particular elements of your interface. You can decide where the text label is to be displayed - at the top, bottom or on either side of the element.

<Example>
<button type="button" class="btn" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" title="Tooltip on top" > Tooltip on top </button> <button type="button" class="btn" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="right" title="Tooltip on right" > Tooltip on right </button> <button type="button" class="btn" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="bottom" title="Tooltip on bottom" > Tooltip on bottom </button> <button type="button" class="btn" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="left" title="Tooltip on left" > Tooltip on left </button>
</Example>

## Tooltip with HTML

If the default tooltip is not enough, you can add the option to use HTML code in the text to highlight particular bits of information and make the content more attractive.

<Example>
<button type="button" class="btn" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-html="true" title="<em>Tooltip</em> <u>with</u> <b>HTML</b>" > Tooltip with HTML </button>
</Example>
