<div class="bs-docs-section">
  <h1 id="popovers" class="page-header">Popovers <small>popover.js</small></h1>

  <p>Add small overlays of content, like those on the iPad, to any element for housing secondary information.</p>
  <p>Popovers whose both title and content are zero-length are never displayed.</p>

  <div class="bs-callout bs-callout-danger" id="callout-popover-needs-tooltip">
    <h4>Plugin dependency</h4>
    <p>Popovers require the <a href="#tooltips">tooltip plugin</a> to be included in your version of Bootstrap.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="bs-callout bs-callout-danger" id="callout-popover-opt-in">
    <h4>Opt-in functionality</h4>
    <p>For performance reasons, the Tooltip and Popover data-apis are opt-in, meaning <strong>you must initialize them yourself</strong>.</p>
    <p>One way to initialize all popovers on a page would be to select them by their <code>data-toggle</code> attribute:</p>
{% highlight js %}
$(function () {
  $('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover()
})
{% endhighlight %}
  </div>
  <div class="bs-callout bs-callout-warning" id="callout-popover-groups">
    <h4>Popovers in button groups, input groups, and tables require special setting</h4>
    <p>When using popovers on elements within a <code>.btn-group</code> or an <code>.input-group</code>, or on table-related elements (<code>&lt;td&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;th&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;tr&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;thead&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;tbody&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;tfoot&gt;</code>), you'll have to specify the option <code>container: 'body'</code> (documented below) to avoid unwanted side effects (such as the element growing wider and/or losing its rounded corners when the popover is triggered).</p>
  </div>
  <div class="bs-callout bs-callout-warning" id="callout-popover-hidden">
    <h4>Don't try to show popovers on hidden elements</h4>
    <p>Invoking <code>$(...).popover('show')</code> when the target element is <code>display: none;</code> will cause the popover to be incorrectly positioned.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="bs-callout bs-callout-info" id="callout-popover-disabled">
    <h4>Popovers on disabled elements require wrapper elements</h4>
    <p>To add a popover to a <code>disabled</code> or <code>.disabled</code> element, put the element inside of a <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> and apply the popover to that <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> instead.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="bs-callout bs-callout-info" id="callout-popover-multiline">
    <h4>Multiple-line links</h4>
    <p>Sometimes you want to add a popover to a hyperlink that wraps multiple lines. The default behavior of the popover plugin is to center it horizontally and vertically. Add <code>white-space: nowrap;</code> to your anchors to avoid this.</p>
  </div>

  <h2 id="popovers-usage">Usage</h2>
  <p>Enable popovers via JavaScript:</p>

  <h3 id="popovers-options">Options</h3>

    <h4>Data attributes for individual popovers</h4>
    <p>Options for individual popovers can alternatively be specified through the use of data attributes, as explained above.</p>
  </div>

  <h3 id="popovers-methods">Methods</h3>
  <h4><code>$().popover(options)</code></h4>
  <p>Initializes popovers for an element collection.</p>

  <h4><code>.popover('show')</code></h4>
  <p>Reveals an element's popover. <strong>Returns to the caller before the popover has actually been shown</strong> (i.e. before the <code>shown.bs.popover</code> event occurs). This is considered a "manual" triggering of the popover. Popovers whose both title and content are zero-length are never displayed.</p>
  {% highlight js %}$('#element').popover('show'){% endhighlight %}

  <h4><code>.popover('hide')</code></h4>
  <p>Hides an element's popover. <strong>Returns to the caller before the popover has actually been hidden</strong> (i.e. before the <code>hidden.bs.popover</code> event occurs). This is considered a "manual" triggering of the popover.</p>
  {% highlight js %}$('#element').popover('hide'){% endhighlight %}

  <h4><code>.popover('toggle')</code></h4>
  <p>Toggles an element's popover. <strong>Returns to the caller before the popover has actually been shown or hidden</strong> (i.e. before the <code>shown.bs.popover</code> or <code>hidden.bs.popover</code> event occurs). This is considered a "manual" triggering of the popover.</p>
  {% highlight js %}$('#element').popover('toggle'){% endhighlight %}

  <h4><code>.popover('destroy')</code></h4>
  <p>Hides and destroys an element's popover. Popovers that use delegation (which are created using <a href="#popovers-options">the <code>selector</code> option</a>) cannot be individually destroyed on descendant trigger elements.</p>
