When it comes to web design, typography is a critical aspect. It can make text readable, engaging, and visually appealing. Bootstrap provides a robust set of typography utilities that allow us to manipulate the text as per our requirements.
Bootstrap provides classes for text alignment. They are:
- .text-left
- .text-right
- .text-center
- .text-justify
<p class="text-left">This is a left-aligned text.</p>
<p class="text-right">This is a right-aligned text.</p>
<p class="text-center">This is a center-aligned text.</p>
<p class="text-justify">This is a justified text.</p>
Bootstrap includes classes for transforming text. They are:
- .text-lowercase
- .text-uppercase
- .text-capitalize
<p class="text-lowercase">This is a lowercased text.</p>
<p class="text-uppercase">This is an uppercased text.</p>
<p class="text-capitalize">This is a capitalized text.</p>
Let's see a few more examples that use Bootstrap's typography utilities.
Bootstrap includes special classes for larger headings, from .display-1 to .display-4.
<h1 class="display-1">Display 1</h1>
