## Default markup
To create a default popover use:
```html code example centered
```
## Four directions
Four options are available: `top`, `right`, `bottom`, and `left` aligned. Directions are mirrored when using Bootstrap in RTL.
```html example centered separated
```
```html
```
## Popover on hover
Popover can be triggered `manual`, with a `click` and on `focus` and on `hover`. This one reacts on hover.
