Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description

Slots

hint

Only works if the text props is empty. Otherwise the slot is ignored.

If you don't want to use the pre-styled tooltip you are free to use whatever html / svelte code you'd like as the tooltip.

<Hint>
  <div>Hover me</div>
  <div slot="hint">Some custom html</div>
</Hint>
