+# Node Name Tooltip directive
+
+Formats the tooltip of the underlying Node based on the following rules:
+
+* if the *title* and *description* are missing, then the tooltip shows the *name*;
+* if the *title* is missing, then the tooltip shows the *name* and *description*;
+* if the *description* is missing, then the tooltip shows the *name* and *title*;
+* if *name* and *title*, *name* and *description*, or *title* and *description* are the same, then only a single line is displayed.
