Inspired by the excellent jQuery.tipsy plugin written by Jason Frame; Tooltips are an updated version, which don't rely on images, use CSS3 for animations, and data-attributes for local title storage.

<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>
</div>
<divclass="bs-callout bs-callout-warning">
<h4>Tooltips in button groups and input groups require special setting</h4>
<p>When using tooltips on elements within a <code>.btn-group</code> or an <code>.input-group</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 tooltip is triggered).</p>
</div>
<divclass="bs-callout bs-callout-warning">
<h4>Don't try to show tooltips on hidden elements</h4>
<p>Invoking <code>$(...).tooltip('show')</code> when the target element is <code>display: none;</code> will cause the tooltip to be incorrectly positioned.</p>
</div>
<divclass="bs-callout bs-callout-info">
<h4>Tooltips on disabled elements require wrapper elements</h4>
<p>To add a tooltip to a <code>disabled</code> or <code>.disabled</code> element, put the element inside of a <code><div></code> and apply the tooltip to that <code><div></code> instead.</p>
</div>
## Usage
The tooltip plugin generates content and markup on demand, and by default places tooltips after their trigger element.
The required markup for a tooltip is only a `data` attribute and `title` on the HTML element you wish to have a tooltip. The generated markup of a tooltip is rather simple, though it does require a position (by default, set to `top` by the plugin).
<divclass="bs-callout bs-callout-warning">
<h4>Multiple-line links</h4>
<p>Sometimes you want to add a tooltip to a hyperlink that wraps multiple lines. The default behavior of the tooltip plugin is to center it horizontally and vertically. Add <code>white-space: nowrap;</code> to your anchors to avoid this.</p>
Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to `data-`, as in `data-animation=""`.

<p>Appends the tooltip to a specific element. Example: <code>container: 'body'</code>. This option is particularly useful in that it allows you to position the tooltip in the flow of the document near the triggering element -which will prevent the tooltip from floating away from the triggering element during a window resize.</p>

<p>Base HTML to use when creating the tooltip.</p>
<p>The tooltip's <code>title</code> will be injected into the <code>.tooltip-inner</code>.</p>
<p><code>.tooltip-arrow</code> will become the tooltip's arrow.</p>
<p>The outermost wrapper element should have the <code>.tooltip</code> class.</p>
