@vnetonline we could certainly enhance the Label component to allow HTML in the tooltips.

The reason why the Bootstrap Tooltip was not used is because in Bootstrap, tooltips are opt-in for performance reasons and rely on JavaScript. This means that anywhere where Bootstrap tooltips are used you need to execute JavaScript code to enable the tooltips. Since Oqtane is based on Blazor, the goal was to minimize the usage of JavaScript as much as possible. In addition, developers may want to use a different CSS framework than Bootstrap on their own custom pages. So a pure CSS option was included instead for tooltips which is not dependent on Bootstrap or JavaScript.

Supporting HTML tags within the tooltip content seems much more complicated than expected:

I am not interested in taking on a JavaScript dependency just to support HTML in tooltips so unless a simple solution can be found I would be inclined to close this enhancement as "not supported"
