title: Adding tooltips

## permalink: /adding_tooltips/

You can add tooltips to your content. Because this theme is built on Bootstrap, you can simply use a specific attribute on an element to insert a tooltip.  test...

Suppose you have a glossary.yml file inside your _data folder. You could pull in that glossary definition like this:

<!--|%%|%7B%25%20raw%20%25%7D|%%|-->

```
<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="<!--|%%|%7B%7Bsite.data.glossary.jekyll_platform%7D%7D|%%|-->">Jekyll</a> is my favorite tool for building websites.</a>
```

<!--|%%|%7B%25%20endraw%20%25%7D|%%|-->

This renders to the following:

<a data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="<!--|%%|%7B%7Bsite.data.glossary.jekyll_platform%7D%7D|%%|-->" href="#">Jekyll</a> is my favorite tool for building websites.
