 * Hi, you see the problem here (at the end, “llegat”):
    [](http://www.infinitgrafic.com/demos/fundacioenllac/fer-donacions)
 * The WP config in Catalan language, and HTML header, too. But the tooltips doesn’t
   work great.
 * An idea?
 * This is other problem for me, Tippy doesn’t work inside html labels. For example:
 *     ```
       <ul style="text-align: justify;">
       	<li> Fer un [tippy title="llegat" header="off"]Consisteix en destinar un bé patrimonial específic o una suma de diners, o una renda a favor de la Fundació.[/tippy]</li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * But I want congratulate to Columcille for your exclusive tooltip plugin for WP.
   I am sorry for my bad English.
 * Thanks

 * At some point I hope to fiddle with this. Have not had time lately, but I’d like
   to add special character support.

 * Hi!
 * I had the similar problem.
 * I do a change in tippy.php (line 200)
    from
 * `$tippyString = '<a>htmlentities($tippyNewText) .'\', \''. $tippyHeader .'\',\''.
   $tippyHref .'\');" onmouseout="domTip_clearTip(\'false\')">'. $tippyTitle .'</
   a>';`
 * to
    `$tippyString = '<a>htmlspecialchars($tippyNewText) .'\', \''. $tippyHeader.'\',\''.
   $tippyHref .'\');" onmouseout="domTip_clearTip(\'false\')">'. $tippyTitle .'</
   a>';`
 * with it the plugin work well until now =)
 * I hope help you!
