```html 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
```

## Popover on hover
Popover can be triggered in one or more of the following styles: `manual`, with a `click`, on `focus`, and on `hover`. This one reacts on hover. See more details on the Popover component page of [Bootstrap's documentation](https://getbootstrap.com/docs)
