Is there a way of adding a tooltip above one of the bootstrap carousel indicators?

I'm looking at the standard bootstrap full page carousel http://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/full-slider/ and carousel indicators are defined as: <ol class="carousel-indicators"> <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li> <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="1"></li> <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="2"></li> </ol> I know it's relatively easy to add a tooltip for example to a button by writing: <button class="btn btn-simple" id="mybutton" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" data-original-title="Text of tooltip"> but is there a way of adding a tooltip to one of the three dots/indicators of carousel? I tried writing: <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="2" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" data-original-title="Text of tooltip"></li> but the tooltip is not visible...
