Documentation and examples for Bootstrap typography, including
global settings, headings, body text, lists, and more.
Headings

<h1>
through
<h6>, are available.

styling of a heading but cannot use the associated HTML element.

h2. Bootstrap heading
h3. Bootstrap heading
h4. Bootstrap heading

Customizing headings
Use the included utility classes to recreate the small secondary
heading text from Bootstrap 3.
Fancy display heading
With faded secondary text
Display headings
Traditional heading elements are designed to work best in the meat
of your page content. When you need a heading to stand out, consider
using a display heading—a larger, slightly more
opinionated heading style.
Display 1
Display 2
Display 3
Display 4
Lead
Make a paragraph stand out by adding
.lead.
Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor
auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.
Inline text elements
Styling for common inline HTML5 elements.
You can use the mark tag to highlight text.
This line of text is meant to be treated as deleted text.
This line of text is meant to be treated as no longer
accurate.
This line of text is meant to be treated as an addition to the
document.
This line of text will render as underlined
This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.
This line rendered as bold text.
This line rendered as italicized text.
.mark and
.small
classes are also available to apply the same styles as
<mark>
and
<small>
while avoiding any unwanted semantic implications that the tags
would bring.
While not shown above, feel free to use
<b>
and
<i>
in HTML5.
<b>
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, 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.
attr
HTML
Blockquotes
For quoting blocks of content from another source within your
document. Wrap
<blockquote class="blockquote">
around any HTML as
the quote.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer
posuere erat a ante.
Naming a source
Add a
<footer className="blockquote-footer">
for identifying the source. Wrap the name of the source work in
<cite>.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer
posuere erat a ante.
Alignment
Use text utilities as needed to change the alignment of your
blockquote.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer
posuere erat a ante.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer
posuere erat a ante.
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.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Consectetur adipiscing elit
Integer molestie lorem at massa
Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
Phasellus iaculis neque
Purus sodales ultricies
Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem
Ac tristique libero volutpat at
Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel
Aenean sit amet erat nunc
Eget porttitor lorem
Inline
Remove a list’s bullets and apply some light
margin
with a combination of two classes,
.list-inline
and
.list-inline-item.
Lorem ipsum
Phasellus iaculis
Nulla volutpat
Description list alignment
Align terms and descriptions horizontally by using our grid system’s
predefined classes (or semantic mixins). For longer terms, you can
optionally add a
.text-truncate
class to truncate the text with an ellipsis.
Description lists
A description list is perfect for defining terms.
Euismod
Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper eget lacinia
odio sem nec elit.
Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.
Malesuada porta
Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.
Truncated term is truncated
Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris
condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus.
Nesting
Nested definition list
Aenean posuere, tortor sed cursus feugiat, nunc augue
blandit nunc.
Responsive typography
Responsive typography refers to scaling text and components
by simply adjusting the root element’s
font-size
within a series of media queries. Bootstrap doesn’t do this for you,
but it’s fairly easy to add if you need it.
Here’s an example of it in practice. Choose whatever
font-sizes
and media queries you wish.
