This commit includes all the needed workarounds and most changes from the main branch for everything to work, like: * removing empty lines in raw HTML that break output * read .browserslistrc, CSS variables from disk instead of duplicating it * using Hugo mounts * using Hugo for the docs CSS/JS * move ToC Sass code to a separate file while adapting it for Hugo Thus, this patch makes our npm scripts faster since lint runs on one step and there's no separate docs assets processing.

How it works
Assign responsive-friendly margin
or padding
values to an element or a subset of its sides with shorthand classes. Includes support for individual properties, all properties, and vertical and horizontal properties. Classes are built from a default Sass map ranging from .25rem
to 3rem
.
Notation
Spacing utilities that apply to all breakpoints, from xs
to xl
, have no breakpoint abbreviation in them. This is because those classes are applied from min-width: 0
and up, and thus are not bound by a media query. The remaining breakpoints, however, do include a breakpoint abbreviation.
The classes are named using the format {property}{sides}-{size}
for xs
and {property}{sides}-{breakpoint}-{size}
for sm
, md
, lg
, and xl
.
Where property is one of:
m
- for classes that setmargin
p
- for classes that setpadding
Where sides is one of:
t
- for classes that setmargin-top
orpadding-top
b
- for classes that setmargin-bottom
orpadding-bottom
l
- for classes that setmargin-left
orpadding-left
r
- for classes that setmargin-right
orpadding-right
x
- for classes that set both*-left
and*-right
y
- for classes that set both*-top
and*-bottom
- blank - for classes that set a
margin
orpadding
on all 4 sides of the element
Where size is one of:
0
- for classes that eliminate themargin
orpadding
by setting it to0
1
- (by default) for classes that set themargin
orpadding
to$spacer * .25
2
- (by default) for classes that set themargin
orpadding
to$spacer * .5
3
- (by default) for classes that set themargin
orpadding
to$spacer
4
- (by default) for classes that set themargin
orpadding
to$spacer * 1.5
5
- (by default) for classes that set themargin
orpadding
to$spacer * 3
auto
- for classes that set themargin
to auto
(You can add more sizes by adding entries to the $spacers
Sass map variable.)
Examples
Here are some representative examples of these classes:
.mt-0 {
margin-top: 0 !important;
}
.ml-1 {
margin-left: ($spacer * .25) !important;
}
.px-2 {
padding-left: ($spacer * .5) !important;
padding-right: ($spacer * .5) !important;
}
.p-3 {
padding: $spacer !important;
}
Horizontal centering
Additionally, Bootstrap also includes an .mx-auto
class for horizontally centering fixed-width block level content—that is, content that has display: block
and a width
set—by setting the horizontal margins to auto
.
<div class="mx-auto" style="width: 200px;">
Centered element
</div>
Negative margin
In CSS, margin
properties can utilize negative values (padding
cannot). As of 4.2, we've added negative margin utilities for every non-zero integer size listed above (e.g., 1
, 2
, 3
, 4
, 5
). These utilities are ideal for customizing grid column gutters across breakpoints.
The syntax is nearly the same as the default, positive margin utilities, but with the addition of n
before the requested size. Here's an example class that's the opposite of .mt-1
:
.mt-n1 {
margin-top: -0.25rem !important;
}
Here's an example of customizing the Bootstrap grid at the medium (md
) breakpoint and above. We've increased the .col
padding with .px-md-5
and then counteracted that with .mx-md-n5
on the parent .row
.
