Add line break to tooltip in Bootstrap 3

Question

I am using Bootstrap 3 and added a tooltip to my div. I've tried using < br > \n and  to create the new line. Would it be a problem with the Bootstrap stopping me?

<div class="content show-tooltip" data-placement="top" 
     data-original-title="1st line of text <br> 2nd line of text">

You need to add data-html="true" to the markup..

<div class="content show-tooltip" data-html="true" data-placement="top" 
     title="1st line of text <br> 2nd line of text">

For anyone still looking 6 years later, you can find the data attribute documentation for v3.4 [here](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/javascript/#tooltips-options) – MichaelM Dec 02 '19 at 15:51
Could you explain why you need to add data-html="true", thanks. – Chris Dec 27 '21 at 18:56

@Chris - Read the [docs](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/javascript/#tooltips-options).. look at the "html" option – Zim Jan 03 '22 at 15:25

In the Title use this code to break the line:

HTML

...title="- Item 1 &#013; - Item 2 &#013;"

CSS

.ui-tooltip {
    /* tooltip container box */
    white-space: pre-line;
}

.ui-tooltip-content {
    /* tooltip content */
    white-space: pre-line;
}

This works, but this adds a space character at the start of my new line. It seems do the same, but without this front space character. – mike123 May 08 '20 at 09:42
