Is it possible to format an HTML tooltip (title attribute)? [duplicate]
Is it possible to format an HTML tooltip?
E.g. I have a DIV with attribute title="foo!". When I have text-size of my browser zoomed in or out in, the text size of the tooltip remains unchanged. Is there a way to make the tooltip font scale with the browser setting?
Try using entity codes such as 
 for CR, 
 for LF, and 	 for TAB.
For example:
<div title="1)	A
2)	B">Hover Me</div>No. But there are other options out there like Overlib, and jQuery that allow you this freedom.

Personally, I would suggest jQuery as the route to take. It's typically very unobtrusive, and requires no additional setup in the markup of your site (with the exception of adding the jquery script tag in your <head>).
it seems you can use css and a trick (no javascript) for doing it:

Better late than never, they always say.
Normally I'd use jQuery to solve such a situation. However, when working on a site for a client which required a javascript-less solution, I came up with the following:
<div class="hover-container">
<div class="hover-content">
<p>Content with<br />
normal formatting</p>
</div>
</div>
By using the following css, you get the same situation as with a title:
.hover-container {
position: relative;
}
.hover-content {
position: absolute;
bottom: -10px;
right: 10px;
display: none;
}
.hover-container:hover .hover-content {
display: block;
}
This gives you the option to style it according to your needs as well, and it works in all browsers. Even the ones where javascript is disabled.
Pros:
- You have a lot of influence on the styling
- It works in (nearly) all browsers
Cons:
- It's harder to position the tooltip
In bootstrap tooltip just use data-html="true"
