Formatting within tooltip

[tamas-ferenci]

The options argument of tooltip states that it can be used to set additional options, with a link leading to here. This page has an option called html which theoretically allows the usage of HTML within the tooltip text. However, this does not seem to work: HTML tags are displayed as text with no formatting applied.

Minimal reproducible example:

library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(
  
  theme = bslib::bs_theme(bootswatch = "default"),
  
  titlePanel("Old Faithful Geyser Data"),
  
  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel(
      bslib::tooltip(
        bsicons::bs_icon("question-circle"),
        "A <b>formatted</b> text.",
        placement = "right", options = list(html = TRUE))
    ),
    
    mainPanel(
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {
}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

The string needs to be wrapped with HTML(). Also the option isn't necessary

bslib::tooltip(
  bsicons::bs_icon("question-circle"),
  HTML("A <b>formatted</b> text."),
  placement = "right"
)

Ah, sorry for not realizing that! Thank you very much, it works perfectly.
