Text

Documentation and examples for common text utilities to control alignment, wrapping, weight, and more.

Text alignment

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.

Start aligned text on all viewport sizes.

Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.

End aligned text on all viewport sizes.

Start aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.

Start aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.

Start aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.

Start aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.

<!-- text alignment -->
<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-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-md-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-lg-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-xl-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.</p>

Text wrapping and overflow

Wrap text with a .text-wrapclass.

This text should wrap. 
<!-- text wrapping and overflow -->
 <div class="badge bg-primary text-wrap" style="width: 6rem;">
   This text should wrap.
 </div>

Prevent text from wrapping with a .text-nowrapclass.

This text should overflow the parent. 
<!-- text no wrapping -->
 <div class="text-nowrap" style="width: 8rem;">
   This text should overflow the parent.
 </div>

Word break

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.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

<!-- word break -->
<p class="text-break">mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</p>

Text transform

Transform text in components with text capitalization classes.

Lowercased text.

Uppercased text.

CapiTaliZed text.

<!-- text transform -->
 <p class="text-lowercase">Lowercased text.</p>
 <p class="text-uppercase">Uppercased text.</p>
 <p class="text-capitalize">CapiTaliZed text.</p>

Font size

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.

.fs-1 text

.fs-2 text

.fs-3 text

.fs-4 text

.fs-5 text

.fs-6 text

<!-- font size -->
 <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>

Font weight and italics

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-*.

Bold text.

Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).

Normal weight text.

Light weight text.

Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).

Italic text.

Text with normal font style

<!-- font weight and italics -->
<p class="fw-bold">Bold text.</p>
<p class="fw-bolder">Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).</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>

Line height

Change the line height with .lh-* utilities.

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.

Monospace

Change a selection to our monospace font stack with .font-monospace.

This is in monospace

<!-- font monospace -->
 <p class="font-monospace">This is in monospace</p>

Reset color

Reset a text or link’s color with .text-reset, so that it inherits the color from its parent.

<!-- reset link -->
<p class="text-muted">
  Muted text with a <a href="#" class="text-reset">reset link</a>.
</p>

Text decoration

Decorate text in components with text decoration classes.

This text has a line underneath it.

This text has a line going through it.

This link has its text decoration removed 
<!-- text decoration -->
 <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>
