{{_i}}Base CSS{{/i}}

{{_i}}On top of the scaffolding, basic HTML elements are styled and enhanced with extensible classes to provide a fresh, consistent look and feel.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Typography Headings, paragraphs, lists, and other inline type elements{{/i}}

{{_i}}Headings & body copy{{/i}}

{{_i}}Typographic scale{{/i}}

{{_i}}The entire typographic grid is based on two Less variables in our preboot.less file: @baseFontSize and @baseLineHeight. The first is the base font-size used throughout and the second is the base line-height.{{/i}}

{{_i}}We use those variables, and some math, to create the margins, paddings, and line-heights of all our type and more.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Example body text{{/i}}

Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.

Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Donec sed odio dui.

Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus. Maecenas faucibus mollis interdum. Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue.

{{_i}}Note: Feel free to use <b> and <i> in HTML5, but their usage has changed a bit. <b> is meant to highlight words or phrases without conveying additional importance while <i> is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Example addresses{{/i}}

{{_i}}Here are two examples of how the <address> tag can be used:{{/i}}

Twitter, Inc.
795 Folsom Ave, Suite 600

P: (123) 456-7890
{{_i}}Full Name{{/i}}
{{_i}}first.last@gmail.com{{/i}}

{{_i}}Example abbreviations{{/i}}

{{_i}}Abbreviations are styled with uppercase text and a light dotted bottom border. They also have a help cursor on hover so users have extra indication something will be shown on hover.{{/i}}

{{_i}}HTML is the best thing since sliced bread.{{/i}}

{{_i}}An abbreviation of the word attribute is attr.{{/i}}

<small> {{_i}}Optional element for adding a user-facing citation, typically an author with title of work{{/i}} {{_i}}Place the <cite> around the title or name of source{{/i}}

{{_i}}To include a blockquote, wrap <blockquote> around any HTML as the quote. For straight quotes we recommend a <p>.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Include an optional <small> element to cite your source and you'll get an em dash &mdash; before it for styling purposes.{{/i}}

<blockquote>
  <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis.</p>
  <small>{{_i}}Someone famous{{/i}}</small>
</blockquote>

{{_i}}Example blockquotes{{/i}}

{{_i}}Default blockquotes are styled as such:{{/i}}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis.

{{_i}}Someone famous in Body of work{{/i}}

{{_i}}To float your blockquote to the right, add class="pull-right":{{/i}}

{{_i}}Forms{{/i}}

{{_i}}Flexible HTML and CSS{{/i}}

{{_i}}The best part about forms in Bootstrap is that all your inputs and controls look great no matter how you build them in your markup. No superfluous HTML is required, but we provide the patterns for those who require it.{{/i}}

{{_i}}More complicated layouts come with succinct and scalable classes for easy styling and event binding, so you're covered at every step.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Four layouts included{{/i}}

{{_i}}Bootstrap comes with support for four types of form layouts:{{/i}}

  • {{_i}}Vertical (default){{/i}}
  • {{_i}}Search{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}Inline{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}Horizontal{{/i}}

{{_i}}Different types of form layouts require some changes to markup, but the controls themselves remain and behave the same.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Control states and more{{/i}}

{{_i}}Bootstrap's forms include styles for all the base form controls like input, textarea, and select you'd expect. But it also comes with a number of custom components like appended and prepended inputs and support for lists of checkboxes.{{/i}}

{{_i}}States like error, warning, and success are included for each type of form control. Also included are styles for disabled controls.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Four types of forms{{/i}}

{{_i}}Bootstrap provides simple markup and styles for four styles of common web forms.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Name{{/i}} {{_i}}Class{{/i}} {{_i}}Description{{/i}}
{{_i}}Vertical (default){{/i}} .vertical-form ({{_i}}not required{{/i}}) {{_i}}Stacked, left-aligned labels over controls{{/i}}
{{_i}}Horizontal{{/i}} .form-horizontal {{_i}}Float left, right-aligned labels on same line as controls{{/i}}
{{_i}}Inline{{/i}} .form-inline {{_i}}Left-aligned label and inline-block controls for compact style{{/i}}
{{_i}}Search{{/i}} .form-search {{_i}}Extra-rounded text input for a typical search aesthetic{{/i}}

{{_i}}Example forms using just form controls, no extra markup{{/i}}

{{_i}}Basic form{{/i}}

{{_i}}With v2.0, we have lighter and smarter defaults for form styles. No extra markup, just form controls.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Search form{{/i}}

{{_i}}Reflecting default WebKit styles, just add .form-search for extra rounded search fields.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Inline form{{/i}}

{{_i}}Inputs are block level to start. For .form-inline and .form-horizontal, we use inline-block.{{/i}}


{{_i}}Horizontal forms{{/i}}

{{_i}}Controls Bootstrap supports{{/i}}

{{_i}}In addition to freeform text, any HTML5 text-based input appears like so.{{/i}}

{{_i}}What's included{{/i}}

{{_i}}Shown on the left are all the default form controls we support. Here's the bulleted list:{{/i}}

  • {{_i}}text inputs (text, password, email, etc){{/i}}
  • {{_i}}checkbox{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}radio{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}select{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}multiple select{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}file input{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}textarea{{/i}}

{{_i}}New defaults with v2.0{{/i}}

{{_i}}Up to v1.4, Bootstrap's default form styles used the horizontal layout. With Bootstrap 2, we removed that constraint to have smarter, more scalable defaults for any form.{{/i}}


{{_i}}Form control states{{/i}}
{{_i}}Something may have gone wrong{{/i}}
{{_i}}Please correct the error{{/i}}
{{_i}}Woohoo!{{/i}}

{{_i}}Redesigned browser states{{/i}}

{{_i}}Bootstrap features styles for browser-supported focused and disabled states. We remove the default Webkit outline and apply a box-shadow in it's place for :focus.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Form validation{{/i}}

{{_i}}It also includes validation styles for errors, warnings, and success. To use, add the a class to the surrounding .control-group.{{/i}}

<fieldset
  class="control-group error">
  …
</fieldset>

{{_i}}Extending form controls{{/i}}

{{_i}}Use the same .span* classes from the grid system for input sizes.{{/i}}

@

{{_i}}Here's some help text{{/i}}

.00

{{_i}}Here's more help text{{/i}}

{{_i}}Note: Labels surround all the options for much larger click areas and a more usable form.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Prepend & append inputs{{/i}}

{{_i}}Input groups—with appended or prepended text—provide an easy way to give more context for your inputs. Great examples include the @ sign for Twitter usernames or $ for finances.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Checkboxes and radios{{/i}}

{{_i}}Up to v1.4, Bootstrap required extra markup around checkboxes and radios to stack them. Now, it's a simple matter of repeating the <label class="checkbox"> that wraps the <input type="checkbox">.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Inline checkboxes and radios are also supported. Just add .inline to any .checkbox or .radio and you're done.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Buttons{{/i}}

{{_i}}Button{{/i}} {{_i}}Class{{/i}} {{_i}}Description{{/i}}
{{_i}}Default{{/i}} .btn {{_i}}Standard gray button with gradient{{/i}}
{{_i}}Primary{{/i}} .primary {{_i}}Provides extra visual weight and identifies the primary action in a set of buttons{{/i}}
{{_i}}Info{{/i}} .info {{_i}}Used as an alternate to the default styles{{/i}}
{{_i}}Success{{/i}} .success {{_i}}Indicates a successful or positive action{{/i}}
{{_i}}Danger{{/i}} .danger {{_i}}Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action{{/i}}

{{_i}}Buttons for actions{{/i}}

{{_i}}As a convention, buttons should only be used for actions while hyperlinks are to be used for objects. For instance, "Download" should be a button while "recent activity" should be a link.{{/i}}

{{_i}}For anchors and forms{{/i}}

{{_i}}Button styles can be applied to anything with the .btn applied. However, typically you’ll want to apply these to only <a> and <button> elements.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Note: All buttons must include the .btn class. Button styles should be applied to <button> and <a> elements for consistency.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Multiple sizes{{/i}}

{{_i}}Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Have at it!{{/i}}

{{_i}}Primary action{{/i}} {{_i}}Action{{/i}}

{{_i}}Primary action{{/i}} {{_i}}Action{{/i}}

{{_i}}Disabled state{{/i}}

{{_i}}For buttons that are not active or are disabled by the app for one reason or another, use the disabled state. That’s .disabled for links and :disabled for <button> elements.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Primary action{{/i}} {{_i}}Action{{/i}}


{{_i}}Icons Graciously provided by Glyphicons{{/i}}

{{_i}}Light red background color is only used to show the dimensions of the icons in the docs.{{/i}}


{{_i}}Built as a sprite{{/i}}

{{_i}}Instead of making every icon an extra request, we've compiled them into a sprite—a bunch of images in one file that uses CSS to position the images with background-position. This is the same method we use on Twitter.com and it has worked well for us.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Glyphicons has granted us use of the Halflings set in our open-source toolkit so long as we provide a link and credit. Please consider doing the same in your projects.{{/i}}

{{_i}}How to use{{/i}}

{{_i}}With v2.0.0, the <i> tag is essentially dedicated to iconography. To use the icons, you can place the follow code wherever you like one to appear:{{/i}}

<i class="chevron-left"></i>

{{_i}}There are over 100 classes to choose from for your icons. Just add an <i> tag with the right class and you're set. You can find the full list in sprites.less or right here in this document.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Use cases{{/i}}

{{_i}}Icons are great, but where would one use them? Here are a few ideas:{{/i}}

  • {{_i}}As visuals for your sidebar navigation{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}For a purely icon-driven nav{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}For buttons to help convey the meaning of an action{{/i}}
  • {{_i}}With links to share context on a user's destination{{/i}}

{{_i}}Essentially, anywhere you can put an <i> tag, you can put an icon.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Examples{{/i}}

{{_i}}Use them in buttons, or in button groups for a toolbar style presentation.{{/i}}

{{_i}}Refresh{{/i}} {{_i}}Settings{{/i}}

{{_i}}Or, use them in navigation.{{/i}}
