Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes. For start, end, and center alignment, responsive classes are available that use the same viewport width breakpoints as the grid system.
<Example code={`<p class="text-start">Start aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-center">Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p> <p class="text-end">End aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p> <p class="text-sm-end">End aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.</p> <p class="text-md-end">End aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.</p> <p class="text-lg-end">End aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p> <p class="text-xl-end">End aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra large) or wider.</p> <p class="text-xxl-end">End aligned text on viewports sized XXL (extra extra large) or wider.</p>`} /> <Callout> Note that we don’t provide utility classes for justified text. While, aesthetically, justified text might look more appealing, it does make word-spacing more random and therefore harder to read. </Callout>Wrap text with a .text-wrap class.
<Example code={`<div class="badge text-bg-primary text-wrap" style="width: 6rem;"> This text should wrap.
</div>`} />Prevent text from wrapping with a .text-nowrap class.
<Example code={`<div class="text-nowrap bg-body-secondary border" style="width: 8rem;"> This text should overflow the parent.
</div>`} />Prevent long strings of text from breaking your components’ layout by using .text-break to set word-wrap: break-word and word-break: break-word. We use word-wrap instead of the more common overflow-wrap for wider browser support, and add the deprecated word-break: break-word to avoid issues with flex containers.
<Example code={<p class="text-break">mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</p>} />
Transform text in components with our text capitalization classes: text-lowercase, text-uppercase or text-capitalize.
<Example code={`<p class="text-lowercase">Lowercased text.</p>
<p class="text-uppercase">Uppercased text.</p> <p class="text-capitalize">CapiTaliZed text.</p>`} />Note how .text-capitalize only changes the first letter of each word, leaving the case of any other letters unaffected.
Quickly change the font-size of text. While our heading classes (e.g., .h1–.h6) apply font-size, font-weight, and line-height, these utilities only apply font-size. Sizing for these utilities matches HTML’s heading elements, so as the number increases, their size decreases.
<Example code={`<p class="fs-1">.fs-1 text</p>
<p class="fs-2">.fs-2 text</p> <p class="fs-3">.fs-3 text</p> <p class="fs-4">.fs-4 text</p> <p class="fs-5">.fs-5 text</p> <p class="fs-6">.fs-6 text</p>`} />Customize your available font-sizes by modifying the $font-sizes Sass map.
Quickly change the font-weight or font-style of text with these utilities. font-style utilities are abbreviated as .fst-* and font-weight utilities are abbreviated as .fw-*.
<Example code={`<p class="fw-bold">Bold text.</p>
<p class="fw-bolder">Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).</p> <p class="fw-semibold">Semibold weight text.</p> <p class="fw-medium">Medium weight text.</p> <p class="fw-normal">Normal weight text.</p> <p class="fw-light">Light weight text.</p> <p class="fw-lighter">Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).</p> <p class="fst-italic">Italic text.</p> <p class="fst-normal">Text with normal font style</p>`} />Change the line height with .lh-* utilities.
<Example code={`<p class="lh-1">This is a long paragraph written to show how the line-height of an element is affected by our utilities. Classes are applied to the element itself or sometimes the parent element. These classes can be customized as needed with our utility API.</p>
<p class="lh-sm">This is a long paragraph written to show how the line-height of an element is affected by our utilities. Classes are applied to the element itself or sometimes the parent element. These classes can be customized as needed with our utility API.</p> <p class="lh-base">This is a long paragraph written to show how the line-height of an element is affected by our utilities. Classes are applied to the element itself or sometimes the parent element. These classes can be customized as needed with our utility API.</p> <p class="lh-lg">This is a long paragraph written to show how the line-height of an element is affected by our utilities. Classes are applied to the element itself or sometimes the parent element. These classes can be customized as needed with our utility API.</p>`} />Change a selection to our monospace font stack with .font-monospace.
<Example code={<p class="font-monospace">This is in monospace</p>} />
Reset a text or link’s color with .text-reset, so that it inherits the color from its parent.
<Example code={`<p class="text-body-secondary"> Secondary body text with a <a href="#" class="text-reset">reset link</a>.
</p>`} />Decorate text in components with text decoration classes.
<Example code={`<p class="text-decoration-underline">This text has a line underneath it.</p>
<p class="text-decoration-line-through">This text has a line going through it.</p> <a href="#" class="text-decoration-none">This link has its text decoration removed</a>`} />Default type and font related Sass variables:
<ScssDocs name="font-variables" file="scss/_variables.scss" />Font-size utilities are generated from this map, in combination with our utilities API.
<ScssDocs name="font-sizes" file="scss/_variables.scss" /> <ScssDocs name="theme-text-map" file="scss/_maps.scss" />Font and text utilities are declared in our utilities API in scss/_utilities.scss. Learn how to use the utilities API.
