...

other named arguments, passed to bs_set_data()

Details

To activate the use of popovers in your page, you will need to call the use_bs_popover() function somewhere.

The verb embed is used to signify that you are embedding information into a tag. This implies that you can embed, at most, one "thing" into a particular tag. You should not, for example, expect to embed both a tooltip and a popover into a tag.
