Text alignment

Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes.

{% capture example %}

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.

{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}

For left, right, and center alignment, responsive classes are available that use the same viewport width breakpoints as the grid system.

{% capture example %}

Left aligned text on all viewport sizes.

Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.

Right aligned text on all viewport sizes.

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

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

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

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

{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}

Text wrapping and overflow

Prevent text from wrapping with a .text-nowrap class.

{% capture example %}

This text should overflow the parent.

{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}

For longer content, you can add a .text-truncate class to truncate the text with an ellipsis. Requires display: inline-block or display: block.

{% capture example %}

Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi.

Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi. {% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}

Text transform

Transform text in components with text capitalization classes.

{% capture example %}

Lowercased text.

Uppercased text.

CapiTaliZed text.

{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}

Note how text-capitalize only changes the first letter of each word, leaving the case of any other letters unaffected.

Font weight and italics

Quickly change the weight (boldness) of text or italicize text.

{% capture example %}

Bold text.

Normal weight text.

Light weight text.

Italic text.

{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}

Monospace

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

{% capture example %}

This is in monospace

{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %}
