Headings

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

Example body text

<p>...</p>

Lead body copy

Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead.

<p class="lead">...</p>

Bold

For emphasizing a snippet of text with a heavier font-weight.

<strong>rendered as bold text</strong>

Italics

For emphasizing a snippet of text with italics.

<em>rendered as italicized text</em>

Heads up! 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.

Alignment classes

Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes.

<p class="text-left">Left aligned text.</p>
<p class="text-center">Center aligned text.</p>
<p class="text-right">Right aligned text.</p>

Emphasis classes

Convey meaning through color with a handful of emphasis utility classes.

<p class="muted">Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris nibh.</p>
<p class="text-warning">Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.</p>
<p class="text-error">Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.</p>
<p class="text-info">Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis.</p>
<p class="text-success">Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula.</p>

Abbreviations

Stylized implementation of HTML's <abbr> element for abbreviations and acronyms to show the expanded version on hover. Abbreviations with a title attribute have a light dotted bottom border and a help cursor on hover, providing additional context on hover.

<abbr>

For expanded text on long hover of an abbreviation, include the title attribute.

<abbr title="attribute">attr</abbr>

<abbr class="initialism">

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

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

Addresses

Present contact information for the nearest ancestor or the entire body of work.

<address>

Preserve formatting by ending all lines with <br>.

<address>
  <strong>Twitter, Inc.</strong><br>
  795 Folsom Ave, Suite 600<br>
  San Francisco, CA 94107<br>
  <abbr title="Phone">P:</abbr> (123) 456-7890
</address>
 
<address>
  <strong>Full Name</strong><br>
  <a href="mailto:#">first.last@example.com</a>
</address>

Blockquotes

For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document.

Default blockquote

Wrap <blockquote> around any HTML as the quote. For straight quotes we recommend a <p>.

<blockquote>
  <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
</blockquote>

Blockquote options

Style and content changes for simple variations on a standard blockquote.

Naming a source

Add <small> tag for identifying the source.

<blockquote>
  <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
  <small>Someone famous Source Title</small>
</blockquote>

Alternate displays

Use .pull-right for a floated, right-aligned blockquote.

<blockquote class="pull-right">
  ...
</blockquote>

Lists

Unordered

A list of items in which the order does not explicitly matter.

<ul>
  <li>...</li>
</ul>

Ordered

A list of items in which the order does explicitly matter.

<ol>
  <li>...</li>
</ol>

Unstyled

Remove the default list-style and left padding on list items (immediate children only).

<ul class="unstyled">
  <li>...</li>
</ul>

Inline

Place all list items on a single line with inline-block and some light padding.

<ul class="inline">
  <li>...</li>
</ul>

Description

A list of terms with their associated descriptions.

<dl>
  <dt>...</dt>
  <dd>...</dd>
</dl>

Make terms and descriptions in <dl> line up side-by-side.

<dl class="dl-horizontal">
  <dt>...</dt>
  <dd>...</dd>
</dl>

Heads up! Horizontal description lists will truncate terms that are too long to fit in the left column fix text-overflow. In narrower viewports, they will change to the default stacked layout.
