  box-shadow: none;
  border: none;
  transform: none;

  right: 56px !important; }

Answer 1

angular material tool tip is warping all content in div so this its working

<md-tooltip class="tooltip-multiline" md-direction="left">
          This is tooltip
</md-tooltip>

.tooltip-multiline div{
  height: auto;
}

Answer 2

Adding this CSS seems to work in your case (with the <br>s):

md-tooltip .md-content {
    height: auto;
}

I'm not sure why Angular-Material hard-coded the height to 22px. You'll need to check whether this change breaks other tooltips.

Or you can apply it specifically to this use case only by giving it a class, e.g. tt-multiline, so you can target it in CSS:

md-tooltip.tt-multiline .md-content {
    height: auto;
}

---

Edit: Starting from Angular-Material 1.1, some class names have changed to start with a underscore.

In this case use

md-tooltip ._md-content {
    height: auto;
}

and for specific class

md-tooltip.tt-multiline ._md-content {
    height: auto;
}

You can view the styling for md-tooltip (v0.11.4) here: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-material/0.11.4/angular-material.css

My own overwrites to the material design styling to allow nice looking multi-line tooltips:

md-tooltip {
  font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
  .md-background {
    border-radius: inherit;
  }
  .md-content {
    height: auto;
    width: 400px;
    max-width: 400px;
    padding: 8px;
    white-space: initial;
  }
}
@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
  md-tooltip .md-content {
    font-size: 14px;
    height: auto;
    width: 300px;
    padding: 8px;
    max-width: 300px;
  }
}

Answer 4

Or you can use white-space: pre-line; in the custom class of your md tooltip. :)

Answer 5

Thats what I did. Now it will do automatic line breaks or put a <br> into it. Set the max-with's below to what ever you need.

md-tooltip .md-content {
    height: auto !important;
    max-width: 200px !important;
    font-size: 13px !important;
}

md-tooltip {
    height: auto !important;
    max-width: 200px !important;
    font-size: 13px !important;
    overflow: visible !important;
    white-space: normal !important;
}

md-tooltip ._md-content {
    height: auto !important;
    max-width: 200px !important;
    font-size: 13px !important;
}

Answer 6

I am using angular_material 1.1.8, for me single answer didn't work, a combination did.

html

<md-tooltip class="tooltip-multiline">Years ago, when I was backpacking...</md-tooltip>

css

.tooltip-multiline {
    height: auto;
    white-space: pre-line; 
    max-width:300px;
    line-height: 14px; /*optional*/
    font-weight:200;/*optional*/
    letter-spacing: 0.5px; /*optional*/
    font-size:11px;/*optional*/     
}

Hope it helps..
