markdown formatting inside a tooltip (quarto document)?

[locusclassicus]

I have a simple .qmd file which knits to an html. It contains some tooltips added with tippy package. Is there a way to use markdown formatting inside a tip (for example, italics or bold)?

---
title: 'final'
format: html
fontsize: '18pt'
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
library(tippy)
```

Rumpitur <span style='color:blue;'> [invidia]{id='a'} </span> quidam, carissime Iuli...
 
```{r}
tippy::tippy_this(elementId = 'a', 
            tooltip = 'abl. causae', theme = 'light')
```

I think you can pass HTML to the tooltip, e.g.: <strong>this is bold</strong>
