<h3>Shortcode Attributes</h3>
The following options can all be included as attributes in your shortcode. Default values, when applicable, are shown in parenthesis. Multiple possible values are listed in parenthesis with the default first.
Note that even though some of the attributes have changed from older versions, the old attributes should continue to work. You will not need to update shortcodes that use the old names.
<ul>
<li>autoshow (false/true): If true, the tooltip or tooltips will automatically show when the page loads.</li>
<li>showtitle (false/true): Whether or not to use the title attribute in links. Good for accessibility, bad for visibility.</li>
<li>hoverpopup (true/false): If true, tooltip displays when hovering over the link. If false, tooltip displays when the link is clicked.</li>
<li>showdelay (100): Adds a slight delay before displaying the tooltip to prevent popping up tooltips when the mouse moves across the page.</li>
<li>showspeed (200): How long it takes in ms for the tooltip to fade in.</li>
<li>hidespeed (200): How long it takes in ms for the tooltip to fade out.</li>
<li>autoclose (true/false): Whether or not the tooltip should automatically close after a delay.</li>
<li>hidedelay (1000): How long it takes in ms before the tooltip begins to auto fade out.</li>
<li>container: By default, the tooltip is placed in the DOM right where you set it but if you want to use Tippy for specific positioning, you can change its parent element by specifying a CSS selector here.</li>
<li>position (link/mouse/css position value): Specifies where the tooltip should be positioned. If set to link or mouse, the x and y values are automatically determined.</li>
<li>top: Useful when position set to fixed, absolute, or relative.</li>

<li>left: Useful when position set to fixed, absolute, or relative.</li>

<li>title: Sets the text shown on the link and in the header.</li>
<li>swaptitle: Alternate title to use when the visitor hovers over the link.</li>
<li>img: Tippy can be used with images rather than text; set img to the url of an image to display Tippy on an image.</li>
<li>swapimg: Like swaptitle, swapimg switches to an alternate image when a visitor hovers over the link.</li>
<li>href: If href is set, the Tippy link will point to this url.</li>
<li>target: Specifies the link target for the Tippy link.</li>
<li>showheader (true/false): Whether or not the tooltip should show a header.</li>
