Text alignment

Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes.

{% example html %}

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.

{% endexample %}

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

{% example html %}

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.

Text wrapping and overflow

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

{% example html %}

Curabitur blandit tempus ardua ridiculus sed magna.

{% endexample %}

For longer content, you can add a .text-truncate class to truncate the text with an ellipsis.

{% example html %}

Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi.

{% endexample %}

Text transform

Transform text in components with text capitalization classes.

{% example html %}

Lowercased text.

Uppercased text.

CapiTaliZed text.

{% endexample %}

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.

{% example html %}

Bold text.

Normal weight text.

Italic text.
