Tooltip

Add tooltips built entirely in CSS to nearly any element. Just add a few classes and an aria-label attribute.

In addition, you’ll want to specify a direction:

• .tooltipped-n
• .tooltipped-ne
• .tooltipped-e
• .tooltipped-se
• .tooltipped-s
• .tooltipped-sw
• .tooltipped-w
• .tooltipped-nw

Tooltip classes will conflict with Octicon classes, and as such, must go on a parent element instead of the icon.

Tooltips No Delay

By default the tooltips have a slight delay before appearing. This is to keep multiple tooltips in the UI from being distracting. There is a modifier class you can use to override this. .tooltipped-no-delay
