Tooltips on links

Hover over the links below to see tooltips:

Placeholder text to demonstrate some inline links with tooltips. This is now just filler, no killer. Content placed here just to mimic the presence of real text. And all that just to give you an idea of how tooltips would look when used in real-world situations. So hopefully you've now seen how these tooltips on links can work in practice, once you use them on your own site or project.


<p class="muted">Placeholder text to demonstrate some <a href="javascript:void(0);" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-title="Default tooltip">inline links</a> with tooltips. This is now just filler, no killer. Content placed here just to mimic the presence of <a href="javascript:void(0);" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-title="Another tooltip">real text</a>. And all that just to give you an idea of how tooltips would look when used in real-world situations. So hopefully you've now seen how <a href="javascript:void(0);" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-title="Another one here too">these tooltips on links</a> can work in practice, once you use them on <a href="javascript:void(0);" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-title="The last tip!">your own</a> site or project.</p>

Custom tooltips

You can customize the appearance of tooltips using CSS variables. We set a custom class with data-bs-custom-class="custom-tooltip" to scope our custom appearance and use it to override a local CSS variable.


<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary"
  data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top"
  data-bs-custom-class="custom-tooltip"
  data-bs-title="This top tooltip is themed via CSS variables.">
  Custom tooltip
</button>
