<pclass="bd-lead">Documentation and examples for common text utilities to control alignment, wrapping, weight, and more.</p>
<p>Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes. For start, end, and center alignment, responsive classes are available that use the same viewport width breakpoints as the grid system.</p>
<divclass="bd-example">
<pclass="text-start">Start aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<pclass="text-center">Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<pclass="text-end">End aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<pclass="text-sm-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.</p>
<pclass="text-md-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.</p>
<pclass="text-lg-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p>
<pclass="text-xl-start">Start aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.</p>

<divclass="bd-callout bd-callout-info">
Note that 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.
</div>
<h2id="text-wrapping-and-overflow">Text wrapping and overflow</h2>
<p>Wrap text with a <code>.text-wrap</code> class.</p>
<p>Prevent long strings of text from breaking your components' layout by using <code>.text-break</code> to set <code>word-wrap: break-word</code> and <code>word-break: break-word</code>. We use <code>word-wrap</code> instead of the more common <code>overflow-wrap</code> for wider browser support, and add the deprecated <code>word-break: break-word</code> to avoid issues with flex containers.</p>
Note that <ahref="https://rtlstyling.com/posts/rtl-styling#3.-line-break">breaking words isn’t possible in Arabic</a>, which is the most used RTL language. Therefore <code>.text-break</code> is removed from our RTL compiled CSS.
</div>
<h2id="text-transform">Text transform</h2>
<p>Transform text in components with text capitalization classes.</p>
<p>Note how <code>.text-capitalize</code> only changes the first letter of each word, leaving the case of any other letters unaffected.</p>
<h2id="font-size">Font size</h2>
<p>Quickly change the <code>font-size</code> of text. While our heading classes (e.g., <code>.h1</code>–<code>.h6</code>) apply <code>font-size</code>, <code>font-weight</code>, and <code>line-height</code>, these utilities <em>only</em> apply <code>font-size</code>. Sizing for these utilities matches HTML’s heading elements, so as the number increases, their size decreases.</p>
<h2id="font-weight-and-italics">Font weight and italics</h2>
<p>Quickly change the <code>font-weight</code> or <code>font-style</code> of text with these utilities. <code>font-style</code> utilities are abbreviated as <code>.fst-*</code> and <code>font-weight</code> utilities are abbreviated as <code>.fw-*</code>.</p>
<divclass="bd-example">
<pclass="fw-bold">Bold text.</p>
<pclass="fw-bolder">Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<pclass="fw-normal">Normal weight text.</p>
<pclass="fw-light">Light weight text.</p>
<pclass="fw-lighter">Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
<pclass="fst-italic">Italic text.</p>
<pclass="fst-normal">Text with normal font style</p>
<spanclass="p"><</span><spanclass="nt">p</span><spanclass="na">class</span><spanclass="o">=</span><spanclass="s">"fw-bolder"</span><spanclass="p">></span>Bolder weight text (relative to the parent element).<spanclass="p"></</span><spanclass="nt">p</span><spanclass="p">></span>
<spanclass="p"><</span><spanclass="nt">p</span><spanclass="na">class</span><spanclass="o">=</span><spanclass="s">"fw-lighter"</span><spanclass="p">></span>Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).<spanclass="p"></</span><spanclass="nt">p</span><spanclass="p">></span>

<p>Change the line height with <code>.lh-*</code> utilities.</p>
