Text

Use common text utilities to control alignment, wrapping, weight, and more.

Text alignment

Realign texts with text alignment classes.

<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>

For left, right, and center alignment, responsive classes are available for different viewport width(breakpoints).

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

Text wrapping and overflow

To prevent text from wrapping use .text-nowrap class.

<div class="text-nowrap bd-highlight" style="width: 8rem;">
  This text should overflow the parent.
</div>

For longer content, you can add a .text-truncate class to truncate the text with an ellipsis(extra contents shown as ...). It 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>

Text transform

Transform text in components with text capitalization utility classes.

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

text-capitalize only changes the first letter of each word and any other letters unaffected.

Font weight and italics

Change the weight (boldness) of text or italicize text.

<p class="font-weight-bold">Bold text.</p>
<p class="font-weight-normal">Normal weight text.</p>
<p class="font-weight-light">Light weight text.</p>
<p class="font-italic">Italic text.</p>

Monospace

Apply monospace font for a selected text with .text-monospace.

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