I have a Bootstrap 4.3.1 Popover with a Table embedded inside the content. Everything is displayed but the table is not. In the below code, I’ve tried both the function for content as well as directly $('#a02').html().

$("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({
    html: true,    
    content: function() { return $('#a02').html(); },  // Also tried directly without function
    title: 'Test'
  }).click(function() {
	  $(this).popover('show');
  });

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>


<a href="#" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" data-placement="right">
   Click Here for Popover
</a>

<div id="a02" style="display: none;">
   Some text before table
   <div>
      <table width="100%">
          <thead>
              <th>Column 1</th>
              <th>Column 2</th>
              <th>Column 3</th>
          </thead>
          <tbody>
              <tr>
                  <td>1</td>
                  <td>2</td>
                  <td>3</td>
              </tr>
          </tbody>
      </table>
   </div>
</div>

Some people have tried showing me a JSFiddle that works with Bootstrap 3. I took their JSFiddle and merely changed the Bootstrap refs to 4, and it broke.

you can do this like so:

$(function() {
  $("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({
    html: true,
    content: function() {
      var content = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
      return $(content).children(".popover-body").html();
    },
    title: function() {
      var title = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
      return $(title).children(".popover-heading").html();
    }
  });
});

<!-- Popover #1 -->
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary" tabindex="0" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" data-popover-content="#a1" data-placement="right">Popover Example</a>


<!-- Content for Popover #1 -->
<div id="a1" class="hidden">
  <div class="popover-heading">Title</div>
  <div class="popover-body">
    <table style="width:100%">
      <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
        <td>3</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
        <td>3</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
        <td>3</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </div>
</div>

UPDATE:
Updated JSFiddle

For some how table not working inside popover, but you can use other tags like ul. I just update the with ul i hope it’ll help you out. Thanks

$("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({
    html: true,    
    content: function() { return $('#a02').html(); },  // Also tried directly without function
    title: 'Test',
  }).click(function() {
	  $(this).popover('show');
  });

.popover-html ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.popover-html ul li {  
    display: inline-block;
    white-space: nowrap;
    width: 33%;
}

.popover-html ul li + li {
  padding-left: 5px;
}

<a href="#" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" data-placement="right">
   Click Here for Popover
</a>

<div id="a02" style="display: none;">
   Some text before table <div class='popover-html'><ul><li>Column 1</li><li>Column 2</li><li>Column 3</li></ul><ul><li>1</li><li>2</li><li>3</li></ul></div>

Another option you can add HTML in data-content attribute. Thanks

$("[data-toggle=popover]").popover();

.popover-html ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.popover-html ul li {  
    display: inline-block;
    white-space: nowrap;
    width: 33%;
}

.popover-html ul li + li {
  padding-left: 5px;
}

<a tabindex="0"
   class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" 
   role="button" 
   data-html="true" 
   data-toggle="popover" 
   data-trigger="focus" 
   title="Test" 
   data-content="Some text before table<div class='popover-html'><ul><li>Column 1</li><li>Column 2</li><li>Column 3</li></ul><ul><li>1</li><li>2</li><li>3</li></ul></div>">Click Here for Popover</a>

Tooltips and Popovers use a built-in sanitizer to sanitize options which accept HTML

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/getting-started/javascript/#sanitizer

try this:

$(function() {
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.table = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.tr = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.td = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.th = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.div = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.tbody = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.thead = [];

  $("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({
    html: true,
    content: function() {
      var content = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
      return $(content).children(".popover-body").html();
    },
    title: function() {
      var title = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
      return $(title).children(".popover-heading").html();
    }
  });
});

There’s nothing wrong with biri’s answer, but just so you know (because it’s also badly documented), you can deactivate the entire sanitizer if you want to.

$(function() {
  $("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({
    sanitize: false,
  });
});

UPDATE: What do you know? It’s documented by now:

+----------+---------+---------+----------------------------------------+
| Name     | Type    | Default | Description                            |
+----------+---------+---------+----------------------------------------+
| sanitize | boolean | true    | Enable or disable the sanitization. If |
|          |         |         | activated 'template', 'content' and    |
|          |         |         | 'title' options will be sanitized.     |

```
<div class=".." data-bs-toggle="popover"  data-bs-trigger="hover"  data-bs-html="true" data-bs-animation="false" data-bs-placement="top" data-bs-content=".." title=".."></div>
```
Adding data-bs-animation="false" solves my problem.
