Bootstrap 5 Text
Documentation and examples for common text utilities to control alignment, wrapping, weight, and more.
Text alignment
Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes. For left, right, and center alignment, responsive classes are available that use the same viewport width breakpoints as the grid system.
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.
<p class="text-start">Left aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-center">Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-end">Right aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-sm-start">Left aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-md-start">Left aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-lg-start">Left aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-xl-start">Left aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.</p>
Note: We don’t provide utility classes for justified text. While, aesthetically, justified text might look more appealing, it does make word-spacing more random and therefore harder to read.
Text wrapping and overflow
Wrap text with a .text-wrap class.
<div class="badge bg-primary text-wrap" style="width: 6rem">This text should wrap.</div>
Prevent text from wrapping with a .text-nowrap class.
<div class="text-nowrap bd-highlight" style="width: 8rem">This text should overflow the parent.</div>
Word break
Prevent long strings of text from breaking your components’ layout by using
.text-break to set word-wrap: break-word and
word-break: break-word. We use word-wrap instead of the more common
overflow-wrap for wider browser support, and add the deprecated
word-break: break-word to avoid issues with flex containers.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
<p class="text-break">mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</p>
Text transform
Transform text in components with text capitalization classes.
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 size
Quickly change the font-size of text. While our heading classes (e.g.,
.h1–.h6) apply font-size, font-weight, and
line-height, these utilities only apply font-size. Sizing for these
utilities matches HTML’s heading elements, so as the number increases, their size decreases.
.fs-1 text
.fs-2 text
.fs-3 text
.fs-4 text
.fs-5 text
.fs-6 text
<p class="fs-1">.fs-1 text</p>
<p class="fs-2">.fs-2 text</p>
<p class="fs-3">.fs-3 text</p>
<p class="fs-4">.fs-4 text</p>
<p class="fs-5">.fs-5 text</p>
<p class="fs-6">.fs-6 text</p>
Customize your available font-sizes by modifying the
$font-sizes Sass map.
$font-sizes: (
1: $h1-font-size,
2: $h2-font-size,
3: $h3-font-size,
4: $h4-font-size,
5: $h5-font-size,
6: $h6-font-size,
);
Font weight and italics
Quickly change the font-weight or font-style of text with these
utilities. font-style utilities are abbreviated as .fst-* and
font-weight utilities are abbreviated as .fw-*.
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.
Text without font style
<p class="fw-bold">Bold text.</p>
<p class="fw-bolder">Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<p class="fw-normal">Normal weight text.</p>
<p class="fw-light">Light weight text.</p>
<p class="fw-lighter">Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<p class="fst-italic">Italic text.</p>
<p class="fst-normal">Text without font style</p>
Line height
Change the line height with .lh-* utilities.
