Angularjs UI bootstrap popover having difficulty with rendering HTML

I have an AngularJS (v1.4.7) directive that uses AngularJS-UI (v0.14.3).

Inside the directive, I have a popover that works if I only use uib-tooltip, e.g.:

...
directiveContent += '<span uib-popover="Some normal text">Popover!</span>';
...

The directive's popover fails once I switch this to uib-tooltip-html:

...
directiveContent += '<span uib-popover-html="Some <b>bold</b> text!">Popover!</span>';
...

The parse error that comes up relates to the link: part of directive, wherein I watch if the content of the directive changes, and I then re-compile the contents:

scope.$watch('content', function(value) {
    var span = angular.element(element.find('span')[1]);
    span.html(value);
    $compile(span)(scope);  // <--- SOME ERROR OCCURS HERE
});

I compile in order to bind elements to event handlers.

Here is the specific $parse error:

angular.js:12477 Error: [$parse:syntax] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.7/$parse/syntax?p0=%2F&p1=not%20a%20primary…expression&p2=14&p3=Some%20%3Cb%3Ebold%3C%2Fb%3E%20text!&p4=%2Fb%3E%20text!

How could I go about fixing this?

See this issue on the angular-ui-bootstrap repo. The recommended approach when using tooltip/popover-html is to wrap the content in quotes:

 '<span uib-popover-html="\'<span>Some <b>bold</b> text!</span>\'">Popover!</span>'

I use the following code to add tooltips, maybe it'll work for you:

<inactive_icon></inactive_icon>    

angular.element("inactive_icon")
       .empty()
       .replaceWith($compile('<i class="fa fa-minus-circle text-danger" tooltip-placement="right" uib-tooltip="File Inactive"></i>')($scope));
