Headings #

All HTML headings, <h1> through <h6>, are available.

<h1>Heading 1</h1>
<h2>Heading 2</h2>
<h3>Heading 3</h3>
<h4>Heading 4</h4>
<h5>Heading 5</h5>
<h6>Heading 6</h6>

The .h1 through .h6 classes are also available, for when you want to match the font styling of a heading but cannot use the associated HTML element.

<p class="h1">Heading 1</p>
<p class="h2">Heading 2</p>
<p class="h3">Heading 3</p>
<p class="h4">Heading 4</p>
<p class="h5">Heading 5</p>
<p class="h6">Heading 6</p>

Headings Customized headings #

Use the included utility classes to recreate the small secondary heading text.

<h5>
  Some example title <br />
  <small class="text-body-secondary">Small subtitle</small>
</h5>

Display #

Traditional heading elements are designed to work best within the focus of the page content. When you need a heading to stand out, consider using a display heading class for a larger heading style.

<h1 class="display-1">Display 1</h1>
<h2 class="display-2">Display 2</h2>
<h3 class="display-3">Display 3</h3>
<h4 class="display-4">Display 4</h4>
<h5 class="display-5">Display 5</h5>
<h6 class="display-6">Display 6</h6>

Lead #

Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead.

<p class="lead">
  This is a lead paragraph. It stands out from regular paragraphs.
</p>

Inline text elements #

Styling for common inline HTML5 elements.

<p>You can use the mark tag to <mark>highlight</mark> text.</p>
<p><del>This line of text is meant to be treated as deleted text.</del></p>
<p><s>This line of text is meant to be treated as no longer accurate.</s></p>
<p><ins>This line of text is meant to be treated as an addition to the document.</ins></p>
<p><u>This line of text will render as underlined.</u></p>
<p><small>This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.</small></p>
<p><strong>This line rendered as bold text.</strong></p>
<p><em>This line rendered as italicized text.</em></p>
<p>This line contains code, such as <code>myFunction()</code>.</p>
<p>This line contains keyboard inputs&mdash;press <kbd>⌘</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd> to copy.</p>

Beware that those tags should be used for semantic purpose:

• <mark> represents text which is marked or highlighted for reference or notation purposes.
• <small> represents side-comments and small print, like copyright and legal text.
• <s> represents element that are no longer relevant or no longer accurate.
• <u> represents a span of inline text which should be rendered in a way that indicates that it has a non-textual annotation.

If you want to style your text, you should use the following classes instead:

• .mark will apply the same styles as <mark>.
• .small will apply the same styles as <small>.
• .text-decoration-underline will apply the same styles as <u>.
• .text-decoration-line-through will apply the same styles as <s>.

While not shown above, feel free to use <b> and <i> in HTML5. The <b> tag is meant to highlight words or phrases without conveying additional importance, while <i> is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.

Text utilities #

Change text alignment, transform, style, weight, line-height, decoration and color with our text utilities and color utilities.

Abbreviations #

Stylized implementation of HTML's <abbr> element for abbreviations and acronyms to show the expanded version on hover. Abbreviations have a default underline and gain a help cursor to provide additional context on hover and to users of assistive technologies.

Add .initialism to an abbreviation for a slightly smaller font-size.

<p><abbr title="attribute">attr</abbr></p>
<p><abbr title="HyperText Markup Language" class="initialism">HTML</abbr></p>

Blockquotes #

For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document. Wrap <blockquote class="blockquote"> around any HTML as the quote.

<blockquote class="blockquote">
  <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
</blockquote>

Blockquotes Naming a source #

The HTML spec requires that blockquote attribution be placed outside the <blockquote>. When providing attribution, wrap your <blockquote> in a <figure> and use a <figcaption> or a block level element (e.g., <p>) with the .blockquote-footer class. Be sure to wrap the name of the source work in <cite> as well.

<figure>
  <blockquote class="blockquote">
    <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <figcaption class="blockquote-footer">
    Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
  </figcaption>
</figure>

Blockquotes Alignment #

Use text utilities as needed to change the alignment of your blockquote.

<figure class="text-center">
  <blockquote class="blockquote">
    <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <figcaption class="blockquote-footer">
    Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
  </figcaption>
</figure>

Lists #

Lists of different types are also supported. The common types are the default unordered (<ul>) and ordered (<ol>) lists. The other types are shown as examples in the next few sections.

Lists Unstyled #

Remove the default list-style and left margin on list items (immediate children only). This only applies to immediate children list items, meaning you will need to add the class for any nested lists as well.

<ul class="list-unstyled">
  <li>This is a list.</li>
  <li>It appears completely unstyled.</li>
  <li>Structurally, it's still a list.</li>
  <li>However, this style only applies to immediate child elements.</li>
  <li>Nested lists:
    <ul>
      <li>are unaffected by this style</li>
      <li>will still show a bullet</li>
      <li>and have appropriate left margin</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>This may still come in handy in some situations.</li>
</ul>

Lists Inline #

Remove a list's bullets and apply some light margin with a combination of two classes, .list-inline and .list-inline-item.

<ul class="list-inline">
  <li class="list-inline-item">This is a list item.</li>
  <li class="list-inline-item">And another one.</li>
  <li class="list-inline-item">But they're displayed inline.</li>
</ul>

Lists Description list alignment #

Align terms and descriptions horizontally by using our grid system's predefined classes. For longer terms, you can optionally add a .text-truncate class to truncate the text with an ellipsis.

<dl class="row">
  <dt class="col-sm-3">Description lists</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">A description list is perfect for defining terms.</dd>

  <dt class="col-sm-3">Term</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">
    <p>Definition for the term.</p>
    <p>And some more placeholder definition text.</p>
  </dd>

  <dt class="col-sm-3">Another term</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">This definition is short, so no extra paragraphs or anything.</dd>

  <dt class="col-sm-3 text-truncate">Truncated term is truncated</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">This can be useful when space is tight. Adds an ellipsis at the end.</dd>

  <dt class="col-sm-3">Nesting</dt>
  <dd class="col-sm-9">
    <dl class="row">
      <dt class="col-sm-4">Nested definition list</dt>
      <dd class="col-sm-8">I heard you like definition lists. Let me put a definition list inside your definition list.</dd>
    </dl>
  </dd>
</dl>
