[Enhancement Request] Styler support for tooltips. · Issue #21266 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Problem description

It would be nice if pandas stlying allowed you to set a tooltip for table cells, in the same way that it allows you to set the CSS style using apply, applymap, etc.

Currently it is possible to create a hacky workaround using css-only tooltips and set_table_styles, but it adds substantial complexity to achieve something that is conceptually very simple.
