All HTML headings, <h1>
through <h6>
are available.
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.
Bootstrap's global default font-size
is 14px, with a line-height
of 1.7em. 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.
<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.
<pclass="lead">...</p>

<p><small>This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.</small></p>
Note: Feel free to use <b>

is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.
Use the <p>

Individual form controls receive styling, but without any required base class on the <form>
or large changes in markup. Results in stacked, left-aligned labels on top of form controls.
Included with Bootstrap are three optional form layouts for common use cases.
Add .form-search
to the form and .search-query
to the <input>
for an extra-rounded text input.
Add .form-inline
for left-aligned labels and inline-block controls for a compact layout.
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:
.form-horizontal
to the form.control-group
.control-label
to the label.controls
for proper alignmentExamples of standard form controls supported in an example form layout.
Most common form control, text-based input fields. Includes support for all HTML5 types: text, password, datetime, datetime-local, date, month, time, week, number, email, url, search, tel, and color.
Requires the use of a specified type
at all times.
Form control which supports multiple lines of text. Change row
attribute as necessary.
Checkboxes are for selecting one or several options in a list while radios are for selecting one option from many.
Add the .inline
class to a series of checkboxes or radios for controls appear on the same line.
Use the default option or specify a multiple="multiple"
to show multiple options at once.
Adding on top of existing browser controls, Bootstrap includes other useful form components.
select
elements are not supported here.Wrap an .add-on input-group-addon
and an input
with one of two classes to prepend or append text to an input.
Use both classes and two instances of .add-on input-group-addon
to prepend and append an input.
Instead of a <span>
with text, use a .btn
to attach a button (or two) to an input.
Make buttons look unclickable by fading them back 50%.
Add the .disabled
class to <a>
buttons.
Note: We use .disabled
as a utility class here, similar to the common .active
class, so no prefix is required.
Add the disabled
attribute to <button>
buttons.
Use the .btn
class on an <a>
, <button>
, or <input>
element.
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.
