Body copy
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 (10px 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>
Lead body copy
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>
Built with Less
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.
Emphasis
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>
Bold
For emphasizing a snippet of text with a heavier font-weight.
The following snippet of text is rendered as bold text.
<strong>rendered as bold text</strong>
Italics
For emphasizing a snippet of text with italics.
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.
Alignment classes
Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes.
Left aligned text.
Center aligned text.
Right aligned text.
<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.
Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris nibh.
Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.
Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.
Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis.
Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula.
<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.
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="HyperText Markup Language" class="initialism">HTML</abbr>

Optional layouts
Included with Bootstrap are three optional form layouts for common use cases.
Search form
Add .form-search
to the form and .search-query
to the <input>
for an extra-rounded text input.
<form class="form-search"> <input type="text" class="input-medium search-query"> <button type="submit" class="btn">Search</button> </form>

Horizontal form
Right align labels and float them to the left to make them appear on the same line as controls. Requires the most markup changes from a default form:
- Add
.form-horizontal
to the form - Wrap labels and controls in
.control-group
- Add
.control-label
to the label - Wrap any associated controls in
.controls
for proper alignment
<form class="form-horizontal"> <div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label" for="inputEmail">Email</label> <div class="controls"> <input type="text" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email"> </div> </div> <div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label" for="inputPassword">Password</label> <div class="controls"> <input type="password" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password"> </div> </div> <div class="control-group"> <div class="controls"> <label class="checkbox"> <input type="checkbox"> Remember me </label> <button type="submit" class="btn">Sign in</button> </div> </div> </form>
Supported form controls

Requires the use of a specified type
at all times.
<input type="text" placeholder="Text input">
Textarea
Form control which supports multiple lines of text. Change rows
attribute as necessary.

Inline checkboxes
Add the .inline
class to a series of checkboxes or radios for controls appear on the same line.
<label class="checkbox inline"> <input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox1" value="option1"> 1 </label> <label class="checkbox inline"> <input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox2" value="option2"> 2 </label> <label class="checkbox inline"> <input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox3" value="option3"> 3 </label>
Selects
Use the default option or specify a multiple="multiple"
to show multiple options at once.
<select> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> <option>5</option> </select> <select multiple="multiple"> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> <option>5</option> </select>
Images

Heads up!.img-rounded
and .img-circle
do not work in IE7-8 due to lack of border-radius
support.
Icons by Glyphicons
Icon glyphs
140 icons in sprite form, available in dark gray (default) and white, provided by Glyphicons.
Glyphicons attribution
Glyphicons Halflings are normally not available for free, but an arrangement between Bootstrap and the Glyphicons creators have made this possible at no cost to you as developers. As a thank you, we ask you to include an optional link back to Glyphicons whenever practical.
How to use
All icons require an <i>
tag with a unique class, prefixed with icon-
. To use, place the following code just about anywhere:
<i class="icon-search"></i>
There are also styles available for inverted (white) icons, made ready with one extra class. We will specifically enforce this class on hover and active states for nav and dropdown links.
<i class="icon-search icon-white"></i>
Heads up! When using beside strings of text, as in buttons or nav links, be sure to leave a space after the <i>
tag for proper spacing.
Alerts Styles for success, warning, and error messages
Default alert
Wrap any text and an optional dismiss button in .alert
for a basic warning alert message.
<div class="alert"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button> <strong>Warning!</strong> Best check yo self, you're not looking too good. </div>
Dismiss buttons
Mobile Safari and Mobile Opera browsers, in addition to the data-dismiss="alert"
attribute, require an href="#"
for the dismissal of alerts when using an <a>
tag.
<a href="#" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</a>
Alternatively, you may use a <button>
element with the data attribute, which we have opted to do for our docs. When using <button>
, you must include type="button"
or your forms may not submit.
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>
Dismiss alerts via JavaScript
Use the alerts jQuery plugin for quick and easy dismissal of alerts.
Options
For longer messages, increase the padding on the top and bottom of the alert wrapper by adding .alert-block
.
Warning!
Best check yo self, you're not looking too good. Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue. Praesent commodo cursus magna, vel scelerisque nisl consectetur et.
<div class="alert alert-block"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button> <h4>Warning!</h4> Best check yo self, you're not... </div>
Contextual alternatives
Add optional classes to change an alert's connotation.
Error or danger
<div class="alert alert-error"> ... </div>
Success
<div class="alert alert-success"> ... </div>
Information
<div class="alert alert-info"> ... </div>
Progress bars For loading, redirecting, or action status
Examples and markup
Basic
Default progress bar with a vertical gradient.
<div class="progress"> <div class="bar" style="width: 60%;"></div> </div>
Striped
Uses a gradient to create a striped effect. Not available in IE7-8.
<div class="progress progress-striped"> <div class="bar" style="width: 20%;"></div> </div>
Animated
Add .active
to .progress-striped
to animate the stripes right to left. Not available in all versions of IE.
<div class="progress progress-striped active"> <div class="bar" style="width: 40%;"></div> </div>
Stacked
Place multiple bars into the same .progress
to stack them.
<div class="progress"> <div class="bar bar-success" style="width: 35%;"></div> <div class="bar bar-warning" style="width: 20%;"></div> <div class="bar bar-danger" style="width: 10%;"></div> </div>
Options
Additional colors
Progress bars use some of the same button and alert classes for consistent styles.
<div class="progress progress-info"> <div class="bar" style="width: 20%"></div> </div> <div class="progress progress-success"> <div class="bar" style="width: 40%"></div> </div> <div class="progress progress-warning"> <div class="bar" style="width: 60%"></div> </div> <div class="progress progress-danger"> <div class="bar" style="width: 80%"></div> </div>
Striped bars
Similar to the solid colors, we have varied striped progress bars.
<div class="progress progress-info progress-striped"> <div class="bar" style="width: 20%"></div> </div> <div class="progress progress-success progress-striped"> <div class="bar" style="width: 40%"></div> </div> <div class="progress progress-warning progress-striped"> <div class="bar" style="width: 60%"></div> </div> <div class="progress progress-danger progress-striped"> <div class="bar" style="width: 80%"></div> </div>
Browser support
Progress bars use CSS3 gradients, transitions, and animations to achieve all their effects. These features are not supported in IE7-9 or older versions of Firefox.
Versions earlier than Internet Explorer 10 and Opera 12 do not support animations.
