Yes, I am aware of Mike's excellent tutorials, but missed the Tooltips
tutorial!

Now that I have and added the appropriate line:

     var marker = new GMarker(point, {title:name});

to my code, I am disappointed that it uses the text in the label part
of the marker code in the xml file.

For example, my first marker includes:

     label="&lt;b&gt;Ahtanum Multiple Use Area&lt;/b&gt;"

which causes the tooltip to display:

<b>Ahtanum Multiple Use Are</b>

and doesn't display in bold.

That is partially a good thing as I don't need to tooltips in bold!
But I do want the tooltips to display.

Here's the map with the tooltip code included:

I'm wondering if there's a way to create a style solely for the
tooltip?

Thanks,

Paul
