Simply add the data-wenk attribute to your HTML with the text you want to display.

<span data-wenk="This is a tooltip!"></span>

You can display the tooltip at different positions using the data-wenk-pos attribute or the .wenk--* class. The default position is at the top.

<span data-wenk="I'm to the right!" data-wenk-pos="right">Wenk to the right!</span>
<span data-wenk="I'm to the left!" data-wenk-pos="left">Wenk to the left!</span>
<span data-wenk="I'm at the bottom!" data-wenk-pos="bottom">Wenk to the button!</span>
<!-- Or -->
<span class="wenk--right" data-wenk="I'm to the right!">Wenk to the right!</span>
<span class="wenk--left" data-wenk="I'm to the left!">Wenk to the left!</span>
<span class="wenk--bottom" data-wenk="I'm at the bottom!">Wenk to the button!</span>

The width of the tooltip can also easily be changed.

<span data-wenk="I'm small!" data-wenk-length="small">Small wenk!</span>
<span data-wenk="I'm medium!" data-wenk-length="medium">Medium wenk!</span>
<span data-wenk="I'm large!" data-wenk-length="large">Large wenk!</span>
<span data-wenk="I fit!" data-wenk-length="fit">I fit just right!</span>
<!-- Or -->
<span data-wenk="I'm small!" class="wenk-length--small">Small wenk!</span>
<span data-wenk="I'm medium!" class="wenk-length--large">Medium wenk!</span>
<span data-wenk="I'm large!" class="wenk-length--large">Large wenk!</span>
<span data-wenk="I fit!" class="wenk-length--fit">I fit just right!</span>
