Customizing headings

Use the included utility classes to recreate the small secondary heading text from Bootstrap 3.

Display headings

Traditional heading elements are designed to work best in the meat of your page content. When you need a heading to stand out, consider using a display heading a larger, slightly more opinionated heading style. Keep in mind these headings are not responsive by default, but it’s possible to enable responsive font sizes.

Blockquotes

For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document. Wrap <blockquote className="blockquote"> around any HTML as the quote.

Design

Code

A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.

<blockquote className="blockquote">
    <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
</blockquote>

Naming a source

Add a <footer className="blockquote-footer"> for identifying the source. Wrap the name of the source work in <cite> .

Design

Code

A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.

<figure>
    <blockquote className="blockquote">
        <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
    </blockquote>
    <figcaption className="blockquote-footer">
        Someone famous in
        <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
    </figcaption>
</figure>

<figure className="text-center">
    <blockquote className="blockquote">
        <p>A well-known quote, contained in a blockquote element.</p>
    </blockquote>
    <figcaption className="blockquote-footer">

    <figcaption className="blockquote-footer">
        Someone famous in
        <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite>
    </figcaption>
</figure>

Lists

Unstyled

Remove the default list-style and left margin on list items (immediate children only). This only applies to immediate children list items, meaning you will need to add the class for any nested lists as well.

Design

Code

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Consectetur adipiscing elit
Integer molestie lorem at massa
Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
- Phasellus iaculis neque
- Purus sodales ultricies
- Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem
- Ac tristique libero volutpat at
Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel
Aenean sit amet erat nunc
Eget porttitor lorem

<ul className="list-unstyled">
    <li>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</li>
    <li>Consectetur adipiscing elit</li>
    <li>Integer molestie lorem at massa</li>
    <li>Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet</li>
    <li>
        Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
        <ul>
            <li>Phasellus iaculis neque</li>
            <li>Purus sodales ultricies</li>
            <li>Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem</li>
            <li>Ac tristique libero volutpat at</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel</li>
    <li>Aenean sit amet erat nunc</li>
    <li>Eget porttitor lorem</li>
</ul>

Inline

Remove a list’s bullets and apply some light margin with a combination of two classes, .list-inline and .list-inline-item .

Design

Code

Lorem ipsum
Phasellus iaculis
Nulla volutpat

<ul className="list-inline">
    <li className="list-inline-item">Lorem ipsum</li>
    <li className="list-inline-item">Phasellus iaculis</li>
    <li className="list-inline-item">Nulla volutpat</li>
</ul>

Description list alignment

Align terms and descriptions horizontally by using our grid system’s predefined classes (or semantic mixins). For longer terms, you can optionally add a .text-truncate class to truncate the text with an ellipsis.

Design

Code

Description lists

A description list is perfect for defining terms.

Euismod

Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.

Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.

Malesuada porta

Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.

Truncated term is truncated

Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus.

Nesting

Nested definition list: Aenean posuere, tortor sed cursus feugiat, nunc augue blandit nunc.

<dl className="row">
    <dt className="col-sm-3">Description lists</dt>
    <dd className="col-sm-9">A description list is perfect for defining terms.</dd>
    <dt className="col-sm-3">Euismod</dt>
    <dd className="col-sm-9">
        <p>Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.</p>
        <p>Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.</p>
    </dd>
    <dt className="col-sm-3">Malesuada porta</dt>
    <dd className="col-sm-9">Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.</dd>
    <dt className="col-sm-3 text-truncate">Truncated term is truncated</dt>
    <dd className="col-sm-9">Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus.</dd>
    <dt className="col-sm-3">Nesting</dt>
    <dd className="col-sm-9">
        <dl className="row">
            <dt className="col-sm-4">Nested definition list</dt>
            <dd className="col-sm-8">Aenean posuere, tortor sed cursus feugiat, nunc augue blandit nunc.</dd>
        </dl>
    </dd>
</dl>

Letter Spacing

Change the letter spacing with .ls-* utilities.

Design

Code
