-.. note::
+   You should indicate your `popper` element using a `t-ref directive <https://github.com/odoo/owl/blob/master/doc/reference/hooks.md#useref>`_.
-   The following CSS classes can be used to style the target HTMLElement:
-   
-   - `o-popper-position`
-   - `o-popper-position--{D}{V}` where `{D}` and `{V}` are replaced by the first letter of the corresponding Direction and Variant (see Options table below for valid directions and variants). E.g.: for position `bottom-end`, the class name will be `o-popper-position--be`.
