Customizing headings
Use the included utility classes to recreate the small secondary heading text.
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.
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.
<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>
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.
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.
<blockquote class="blockquote">
<p class="mb-0">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
</blockquote>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.
A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.
<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>Alignment
Use text utilities as needed to change the alignment of your blockquote.
A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.
<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>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>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</li>
<li>Consectetur adipiscing elit</li>
<li>Integer molestie lorem at massa</li>
<li>Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet</li>
<li>Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
<ul>
<li>Phasellus iaculis neque</li>
<li>Purus sodales ultricies</li>
<li>Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem</li>
<li>Ac tristique libero volutpat at</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel</li>
<li>Aenean sit amet erat nunc</li>
<li>Eget porttitor lorem</li>
</ul>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">Lorem ipsum</li>
<li class="list-inline-item">Phasellus iaculis</li>
<li class="list-inline-item">Nulla volutpat</li>
</ul>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.
Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.
Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.
