Text
Common text utilities to control alignment, wrapping, weight, and more.
Text alignment
Spread text evenly across elements using .text-justify
Ambitioni dedisse scripsisse iudicaretur. Cras mattis iudicium purus sit amet fermentum. Donec sed odio operae, eu vulputate felis rhoncus. Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi. At nos hinc posthac, sitientis piros Afros. Petierunt uti sibi concilium totius Galliae in diem certam indicere. Cras mattis iudicium purus sit amet fermentum.
<p class="text-justify">Ambitioni dedisse scripsisse iudicaretur. Cras mattis iudicium purus sit amet fermentum. Donec sed odio operae, eu vulputate felis rhoncus. Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi. At nos hinc posthac, sitientis piros Afros. Petierunt uti sibi concilium totius Galliae in diem certam indicere. Cras mattis iudicium purus sit amet fermentum.</p>
Align text left, right or centered, using .text-left, .text-right and .text-center. Use responsively using .text-{breakpoint}-{alignment}, where breakpoint can be sm, md, lg or xl.
Left aligned text on all viewport sizes.
Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.
Right aligned text on all viewport sizes.
Centered text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.
Centered text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.
Centered text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.
Centered text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.
<p class="text-left">Left aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-center">Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-right">Right aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-sm-center">Centered text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-md-center">Centered text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-lg-center">Centered text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-xl-center">Centered text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.</p>
Text wrapping and overflow
Wrap text using a .text-wrap or prevent text from wrapping with a .text-nowrap class.
<div class="badge badge-primary text-wrap" style="width: 6rem;">
This text should wrap.
</div>
<div class="badge badge-primary text-dark text-nowrap" style="width: 6rem;">
This text should overflow the parent.
</div>
For longer content, you can add .text-truncate to truncate the text with an ellipsis. Requires display: inline-block or display: block
<!-- Block level -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-2 text-truncate">
Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi.
</div>
</div>
<!-- Inline level -->
<span class="d-inline-block text-truncate" style="max-width: 150px;">
Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi.
</span>
Word break
Prevent long strings of text from breaking your components’ layout by using .text-break to set overflow-wrap: break-word (and word-break: break-word for IE & Edge compatibility).
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
<p class="text-break">mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</p>
Text transform
Transform text to lowercase, uppercase or capitalized using .text-lowercase, .text-uppercase and .text-capitalize respectively.
Lowercased text.
Uppercased text.
CapiTaliZed text.
<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.
Font weight and italics
Modify the font weight of text using .font-weight-{weight}, where weight can be bold, bolder, normal, light or lighter. Italicize text using .font-italic.
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.
<p class="font-weight-bold">Bold text.</p>
<p class="font-weight-bolder">Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<p class="font-weight-normal">Normal weight text.</p>
<p class="font-weight-light">Light weight text.</p>
<p class="font-weight-lighter">Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<p class="font-italic">Italic text.</p>
Monospace
Change text to the monospace font stack with .text-monospace.
This is in monospace
<p class="text-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.
Muted text with a reset link.
<p class="text-muted">
Muted text with a <a href="#" class="text-reset">reset link</a>.
</p>
Text decoration
Remove a text decoration with a .text-decoration-none class.
<a href="#" class="text-decoration-none">Non-underlined link</a>
