-Small and adaptive tag for adding context to just about any content.
-
-## Example
-
-Labels scale to match the size of the immediate parent element by using relative font sizing and `em` units.

-<h5>Example heading <span class="label label-default">New</span></h5>
-<h6>Example heading <span class="label label-default">New</span></h6>
-{% endexample %}
-
-## Contextual variations
-
-Add any of the below mentioned modifier classes to change the appearance of a label.
-
-{% example html %}
-<span class="label label-default">Default</span>
-<span class="label label-primary">Primary</span>
-<span class="label label-success">Success</span>
-<span class="label label-info">Info</span>
-<span class="label label-warning">Warning</span>
-<span class="label label-danger">Danger</span>
-{% endexample %}
-
-## Pill labels
-
-Use the `.label-pill` modifier class to make labels more rounded (with a larger `border-radius` and additional horizontal `padding`). Useful if you miss the badges from v3.
