Multiline tooltip from inside wikitext

It's sufficiently easy to brew a primitive single-line tooltip:

<span title="British Rail">BR</span>

But the method stops being useful with longer texts. How can I brew a multiline tooltip? Using "<br>" inside "<span>" is not possible. There is the "hover" CSS selector that can brew sophisticated and multiline tooltips, but I can't find a way to use it from wikitext.

Is there a way to brew a multiline tooltip from inside wikitext?

Thanks ... I forgot to mention that I need a method for Wikimedia public wikies. "Extension:SimpleTooltip" is extremely promising but doesn't seem to be enabled on public wikies. I don't understand the "Extension:Cite" and "refn" hint. Is there a method feasible for public wikies?

OK, thanks. I wonder whether there is a chance to get "Extension:SimpleTooltip" enabled on a public wiki via phabricator bugzilla?
