Global settings
Bootstrap sets basic global display, typography, and link styles. When more control is needed, check out the [textual utility classes]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/utilities/text/).
- Use a [native font stack]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/content/reboot/#native-font-stack) that selects the best
font-family
for each OS and device. - For a more inclusive and accessible type scale, we assume the browser default root
font-size
(typically 16px) so visitors can customize their browser defaults as needed. - Use the
$font-family-base
,$font-size-base
, and$line-height-base
attributes as our typographic base applied to the<body>
. - Set the global link color via
$link-color
and apply link underlines only on:hover
. - Use
$body-bg
to set abackground-color
on the<body>
(#fff
by default).
These styles can be found within _reboot.scss
, and the global variables are defined in _variables.scss
. Make sure to set $font-size-base
in rem
.
Headings
All HTML headings, <h1>
through <h6>
, are available.
Heading | Example |
---|---|
{{ "``" | markdownify }} | h1. Bootstrap heading |
{{ "``" | markdownify }} | h2. Bootstrap heading |
{{ "``" | markdownify }} | h3. Bootstrap heading |
{{ "``" | markdownify }} | h4. Bootstrap heading |
{{ "``" | markdownify }} | h5. Bootstrap heading |
{{ "``" | markdownify }} | h6. Bootstrap heading |
{% highlight html %}
h1. Bootstrap heading
h2. Bootstrap heading
h3. Bootstrap heading
h4. Bootstrap heading
h5. Bootstrap heading
h6. Bootstrap heading
{% endhighlight %}.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.
{% capture example %}
h1. Bootstrap heading
h2. Bootstrap heading
h3. Bootstrap heading
h4. Bootstrap heading
h5. Bootstrap heading
h6. Bootstrap heading
{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}Customizing headings
Use the included utility classes to recreate the small secondary heading text from Bootstrap 3.
{% highlight html %}
Fancy display heading With faded secondary text
{% endhighlight %}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 |
{% highlight html %}
Display 1
Display 2
Display 3
Display 4
{% endhighlight %}Lead
Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead
.
{% capture example %}
Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.
{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}Inline text elements
Styling for common inline HTML5 elements.
{% capture example %}
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.
{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}.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]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/utilities/text/) and [color utilities]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/utilities/colors/).
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.
{% capture example %}
attr
HTML
{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}Blockquotes
For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document. Wrap <blockquote class="blockquote">
around any HTML as the quote.
{% capture example %}
{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
Naming a source
Add a <footer class="blockquote-footer">
for identifying the source. Wrap the name of the source work in <cite>
.
{% capture example %}
{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
Someone famous in Source Title
Alignment
Use text utilities as needed to change the alignment of your blockquote.
{% capture example %}
{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
Someone famous in Source Title
{% capture example %}
{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
Someone famous in Source Title
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.
{% capture example %}
- 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
.
{% capture example %}
- 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.
{% capture example %}
- 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-size
s and media queries you wish.
{% highlight scss %} html { font-size: 1rem; }
@include media-breakpoint-up(sm) { html { font-size: 1.2rem; } }
@include media-breakpoint-up(md) { html { font-size: 1.4rem; } }
@include media-breakpoint-up(lg) { html { font-size: 1.6rem; } } {% endhighlight %}
