Add small overlays of content, like those on the iPad, to any element for housing secondary information.
Popovers whose both title and content are zero-length are never displayed.
Popovers require the tooltip plugin to be included in your version of Bootstrap.
For performance reasons, the Tooltip and Popover data-apis are opt-in, meaning you must initialize them yourself.
One way to initialize all popovers on a page would be to select them by their data-toggle attribute:
When using popovers on elements within a .btn-group or an .input-group, you'll have to specify the option container: 'body' (documented below) to avoid unwanted side effects (such as the element growing wider and/or losing its rounded corners when the popover is triggered).
To add a popover to a disabled or .disabled element, put the element inside of a <div> and apply the popover to that <div> instead.
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 white-space: nowrap; to your anchors to avoid this.
Four options are available: top, right, bottom, and left aligned.
Sed posuere consectetur est at lobortis. Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis vestibulum.
Sed posuere consectetur est at lobortis. Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis vestibulum.
Sed posuere consectetur est at lobortis. Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis vestibulum.
Sed posuere consectetur est at lobortis. Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis vestibulum.
Use the focus trigger to dismiss popovers on the next click that the user makes.
For proper cross-browser and cross-platform behavior, you must use the <a> tag, not the <button> tag, and you also must include a tabindex attribute.
Enable popovers via JavaScript:
{% highlight js %}$('#example').popover(options){% endhighlight %}Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-animation="".

| placement | string | function | 'right' |

Options for individual popovers can alternatively be specified through the use of data attributes, as explained above.
