All HTML headings, <h1>
through <h6>
are available.
Bootstrap's global default font-size
is 14px, with a line-height
of 20px. This is applied to the <body>
and all paragraphs. In addition, <p>
(paragraphs) receive a bottom margin of half their line-height (9px by default).
Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula.
Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.
Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit sit amet non magna. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.
<p>...</p>
Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead
.
Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.
<p class="lead">...</p>
The typographic scale is based on two LESS variables in variables.less: @baseFontSize
and @baseLineHeight
. The first is the base font-size used throughout and the second is the base line-height. We use those variables and some simple math to create the margins, paddings, and line-heights of all our type and more. Customize them and Bootstrap adapts.
Make use of HTML's default emphasis tags with lightweight styles.
<small>
For de-emphasizing inline or blocks of text, use the small tag.
This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.
<p> <small>This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.</small> </p>
<strong>
For emphasizing a snippet of text with important
The following snippet of text is rendered as bold text.
<strong>rendered as bold text</strong>
<em>
For emphasizing a snippet of text with stress
The following snippet of text is rendered as italicized text.
<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.
Stylized implemenation 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.
An abbreviation of the word attribute is attr.
<abbr title="attribute">attr</abbr>
<abbr class="initialism">
Add .initialism
to an abbreviation for a slightly smaller font-size.
HTML is the best thing since sliced bread.
<abbr title="attribute" class="initialism">attr</abbr>
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@gmail.com</a> </address>
For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document.
Wrap <blockquote>
around any HTML as the quote. For straight quotes we recommend a <p>
.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
<blockquote> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p> </blockquote>
Style and content changes for simple variations on a standard blockquote.
Add <small>
tag 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.
Someone famous in Source Title
<blockquote> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p> <small>Someone famous <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></small> </blockquote>
Use .pull-right
for a floated, right-aligned blockquote.
<blockquote class="pull-right"> ... </blockquote>
A list of items in which the order does not explicitly matter.
<ul> <li>...</li> </ul>
A list of items in which the order does explicitly matter.
<ol> <li>...</li> </ol>
A list of items with no list-style
or additional left padding.
<ul class="unstyled"> <li>...</li> </ul>
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.
Wrap inline snippets of code with <code>
.
<section>
should be wrapped as inline.
For example, <code><section></code> should be wrapped as inline.
Use <pre>
for multiple lines of code. Be sure to escape any angle brackets in the code for proper rendering.
<p>Sample text here...</p>
<pre> <p>Sample text here...</p> </pre>
Heads up! Be sure to keep code within <pre>
tags as close to the left as possible; it will render all tabs.
You may optionally add the .pre-scrollable
class which will set a max-height of 350px and provide a y-axis scrollbar.
