How can I hold Twitter Bootstrap Popover open until my mouse moves into it?

With bootstrap (tested with version 2) I figured out the following code:

$("a[rel=popover]")
            .popover({
                offset: 10,
                trigger: 'manual',
                animate: false,
                html: true,
                placement: 'left',
                template: '<div class="popover" onmouseover="$(this).mouseleave(function() {$(this).hide(); });"><div class="arrow"></div><div class="popover-inner"><h3 class="popover-title"></h3><div class="popover-content"><p></p></div></div></div>'

            }).click(function(e) {
                e.preventDefault() ;
            }).mouseenter(function(e) {
                $(this).popover('show');
            });

The main point is to override template with mouseleave() enabler. I hope this helps.
