+  <p>Tooltips and Popovers use our built-in sanitizer to sanitize options which accept HTML.</p>
+  <p>The default <code>whiteList</code> value is the following:</p>
+
+{% highlight js %}
+var ARIA_ATTRIBUTE_PATTERN = /^aria-[\w-]*$/i
+var DefaultWhitelist = {
+  // Global attributes allowed on any supplied element below.
+  '*': ['class', 'dir', 'id', 'lang', 'role', ARIA_ATTRIBUTE_PATTERN],
+  a: ['target', 'href', 'title', 'rel'],

+  sub: [],
+  sup: [],
+  strong: [],
+  u: [],
+  ul: []
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+  <p>If you want to add new values to this default <code>whiteList</code> you can do the following:</p>
+
+{% highlight js %}
+var myDefaultWhiteList = $.fn.tooltip.Constructor.DEFAULTS.whiteList
+
+// To allow table elements
+myDefaultWhiteList.table = []
+
+// To allow td elements and data-option attributes on td elements
+myDefaultWhiteList.td = ['data-option']
+
+// You can push your custom regex to validate your attributes.
+// Be careful about your regular expressions being too lax
+var myCustomRegex = /^data-my-app-[\w-]+/
+myDefaultWhiteList['*'].push(myCustomRegex)
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+  <p>If you want to bypass our sanitizer because you prefer to use a dedicated library, for example <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/dompurify">DOMPurify</a>, you should do the following:</p>
+
+{% highlight js %}
+$('#yourTooltip').tooltip({
+  sanitizeFn: function (content) {
+    return DOMPurify.sanitize(content)
+  }
+})
+{% endhighlight %}

+    <h4>Browsers without <code>document.implementation.createHTMLDocument</code></h4>
+    <p>In case of browsers that don't support <code>document.implementation.createHTMLDocument</code>, like Internet Explorer 8, the built-in sanitize function returns the HTML as is.</p>
+    <p>If you want to perform sanitization in this case, please specify <code>sanitizeFn</code> and use an external library like <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/dompurify">DOMPurify</a>.</p>
