Typography

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

Example

h1. Heading 1
h2. Heading 2
h3. Heading 3
h4. Heading 4
h5. Heading 5

h6. Heading 6

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).

Example

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 .

https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html 2/35
7/25/2019 Base · Bootstrap
Example

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.

Example

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.

Example

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.

https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html 3/35
7/25/2019 Base · Bootstrap
Example

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.

Example

Left aligned text.

Center aligned text.

Right aligned text.

1. <p class="text-left">Left aligned text.</p>


2. <p class="text-center">Center aligned text.</p>
3. <p class="text-right">Right aligned text.</p>

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

Example

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.

1. <p class="muted">Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris nibh.</p>


2. <p class="text-warning">Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.</p>
3. <p class="text-error">Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.</p>
4. <p class="text-info">Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis.</p
>
5. <p class="text-success">Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula.</p
>

Example
https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html 8/35
7/25/2019 Base · Bootstrap

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.

1. <dl>

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.
Felis euismod semper eget lacinia
Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit
amet risus.

1. <dl class="dl-horizontal">
2. <dt>...</dt>
3. <dd>...</dd>
4. </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.

Code

Inline
Wrap inline snippets of code with <code> .

https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html 9/35
7/25/2019 Base · Bootstrap
Example

For example, <section> should be wrapped as inline.

1. For example, <code>&lt;section&gt;</code> should be wrapped as inline.

Basic block
Use <pre> for multiple lines of code. Be sure to escape any angle brackets in the code for proper rendering.

Example

<p>Sample text here...</p>

1. <pre>
2. &lt;p&gt;Sample text here...&lt;/p&gt;
3. </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.

Control sizing
Use relative sizing classes like .input-large or match your inputs to the grid column sizes using .span* classes.

Block level inputs


Make any <input> or <textarea> element behave like a block level element.

Example

.input-block-level

1. <input class="input-block-level" type="text" placeholder=".input-block-level">

Relative sizing

Example

.input-min

.input-small

.input-medium

.input-large

.input-xlarge

.input-xxlarge

1. <input class="input-mini" type="text" placeholder=".input-mini">


2. <input class="input-small" type="text" placeholder=".input-small">
3. <input class="input-medium" type="text" placeholder=".input-medium">
4. <input class="input-large" type="text" placeholder=".input-large">
5. <input class="input-xlarge" type="text" placeholder=".input-xlarge">
6. <input class="input-xxlarge" type="text" placeholder=".input-xxlarge">

Heads up! In future versions, we'll be altering the use of these relative input classes to match our button sizes. For
example, .input-large will increase the padding and font-size of an input.
https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html 23/35
Grid sizing
7/25/2019 Base · Bootstrap

Use .span1 to .span12 for inputs that match the same sizes of the grid columns.

Example

.span1

.span2

.span3

1. <input class="span1" type="text" placeholder=".span1">


2. <input class="span2" type="text" placeholder=".span2">
3. <input class="span3" type="text" placeholder=".span3">
4. <select class="span1">
5. ...
6. </select>
7. <select class="span2">
8. ...
9. </select>
10. <select class="span3">
11. ...
12. </select>

For multiple grid inputs per line, use the .controls-row modifier class for proper spacing. It floats the inputs to
collapse white-space, sets the proper margins, and clears the float.

Example

.span5

.span4

.span1

.span3

.span2

.span2

.span3

.span1

6. <input class="span1" type="text" placeholder=".span1">

Uneditable inputs
Present data in a form that's not editable without using actual form markup.

Example

Some value here

1. <span class="input-xlarge uneditable-input">Some value here</span>

Form actions
End a form with a group of actions (buttons). When placed within a .form-actions , the buttons will automatically
indent to line up with the form controls.

Example

Save changes Cancel

1. <div class="form-actions">
2. <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
3. <button type="button" class="btn">Cancel</button>
4. </div>

Help text
Inline and block level support for help text that appears around form controls.

Inline help

Example

Inline help text

https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html 25/35
7/25/2019 Base · Bootstrap
1. <input type="text"><span class="help-inline">Inline help text</span>

Block help

Example

A longer block of help text that breaks onto a new line and may extend beyond one line.

1. <input type="text"><span class="help-block">A longer block of help text that breaks onto a
new line and may extend beyond one line.</span>

Form control states


Provide feedback to users or visitors with basic feedback states on form controls and labels.

Input focus
We remove the default outline styles on some form controls and apply a box-shadow in its place for :focus .

Example

This is focused...

1. <input class="input-xlarge" id="focusedInput" type="text" value="This is focused...">

Invalid inputs
Style inputs via default browser functionality with :invalid . Specify a type , add the required attribute if the field
is not optional, and (if applicable) specify a pattern .

This is not available in versions of Internet Explorer 7-9 due to lack of support for CSS pseudo selectors.

Example

[email protected]

1. <input class="span3" type="email" required>

Disabled inputs
Add the disabled attribute on an input to prevent user input and trigger a slightly different look.

7/25/2019 Base · Bootstrap
Example

1. <input class="input-xlarge" id="disabledInput" type="text" placeholder="Disabled input her


e..." disabled>

Validation states
Bootstrap includes validation styles for error, warning, info, and success messages. To use, add the appropriate
class to the surrounding .control-group .

Example

Input with warning Something may have gone wrong

Input with error Please correct the error

Input with info Username is taken

Input with success Woohoo!

Buttons

Default buttons
Button styles can be applied to anything with the .btn class applied. However, typically you'll want to apply these
to only <a> and <button> elements for the best rendering.

Button class="" Description

Default btn Standard gray button with gradient

Primary btn btn-primary Provides extra visual weight and identifies the primary action in a set of
buttons

https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html 28/35
7/25/2019 Base · Bootstrap
Button class="" Description

Info btn btn-info Used as an alternative to the default styles

Success btn btn-success Indicates a successful or positive action

Warning btn btn-warning Indicates caution should be taken with this action

Danger btn btn-danger Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action

Inverse btn btn-inverse Alternate dark gray button, not tied to a semantic action or use

Link btn btn-link Deemphasize a button by making it look like a link while maintaining button
behavior

Cross browser compatibility


IE9 doesn't crop background gradients on rounded corners, so we remove it. Related, IE9 jankifies disabled
button elements, rendering text gray with a nasty text-shadow that we cannot fix.

Button sizes
Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Add .btn-large , .btn-small , or .btn-mini for additional sizes.

Example

Large button Large button

Default button Default button

Small button Small button

Mini button Mini button

1. <p>
2. <button class="btn btn-large btn-primary" type="button">Large button</button>
3. <button class="btn btn-large" type="button">Large button</button>

Create block
7/25/2019 level buttons—those that span the full width ofBase
a parent—
· Bootstrapby adding .btn-block .

Example

Block level button

Block level button

1. <button class="btn btn-large btn-block btn-primary" type="button">Block level button</butto


n>
2. <button class="btn btn-large btn-block" type="button">Block level button</button>

Disabled state
Make buttons look unclickable by fading them back 50%.

Anchor element
Add the .disabled class to <a> buttons.

Example

Primary link Link

1. <a href="#" class="btn btn-large btn-primary disabled">Primary link</a>


2. <a href="#" class="btn btn-large disabled">Link</a>

Heads up! We use .disabled as a utility class here, similar to the common .active class, so no prefix is
required. Also, this class is only for aesthetic; you must use custom JavaScript to disable links here.

Button element
Add the disabled attribute to <button> buttons.

Example

Primary button Button

1. <button type="button" class="btn btn-large btn-primary disabled" disabled="disabled">Primar


y button</button>
2. <button type="button" class="btn btn-large" disabled>Button</button>

One class, multiple tags


Use the .btn class on an <a> , <button>
https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html , or <input> element. 30/35
7/25/2019 Base · Bootstrap
Example

Link () Button Input Submit

1. <a class="btn" href="">Link</a>


2. <button class="btn" type="submit">Button</button>
3. <input class="btn" type="button" value="Input">
4. <input class="btn" type="submit" value="Submit">

As a best practice, try to match the element for your context to ensure matching cross-browser rendering. If you
have an input , use an <input type="submit"> for your button.

Images
Add classes to an <img> element to easily style images in any project.

Example

1. <img src="..." class="img-rounded">


2. <img src="..." class="img-circle">
3. <img src="..." class="img-polaroid">

Heads up! .img-rounded and .img-circle do not work in IE7-8 due to lack of border-radius support.

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 (https://www.glyphicons.com/) 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:

1. <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.

1. <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.

Icon examples
Use them in buttons, button groups for a toolbar, navigation, or prepended form inputs.

Buttons

Example

1. <div class="btn-toolbar">
2. <div class="btn-group">
