You can do this by setting the table cell to runat="server" and then in code behind you can add the tooltip.

Also you can easily assign the condition in code behind.

<table>
  <tr>
    <td id="td1" run="server">sample text</td>
  </tr>
</table>

And in code behind use this inside the condition

    ((HtmlTableCell)this.FindControl("td1")).Attributes.Add("Title", "test");

I think this question revolves more around the HTML encoding / decoding, since he already has the string in HTML encoded format.
