Typography
Headings
All HTML headings, <h1> through <h6> are available.
h1. Heading 1
h2. Heading 2
h3. Heading 3
h4. Heading 4
h5. Heading 5
h6. Heading 6
Built with Less
The typographic scale is based on two LESS variables in variables.less: @baseFontSize and @baseLineHeight. The first is the base font-size used throughout and the second is the base line-height. We use those variables and some simple math to create the margins, paddings, and line-heights of all our type and more. Customize them and Bootstrap adapts.
Body copy
Bootstrap's global default font-size is 14px, with a line-height of 1.7em. This is applied to the <body> and all paragraphs. In addition, <p> (paragraphs) receive a bottom margin of half their line-height (9px by default).
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.
<p>...</p>
Lead body copy
Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead.
Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.
<p class="lead">...</p>
Emphasis
Make use of HTML's default emphasis tags with lightweight styles.<em>
For emphasizing a snippet of text with stress
The following snippet of text is rendered as italicized text.
<em>rendered as italicized text</em>
<strong>
For emphasizing a snippet of text with important
The following snippet of text is rendered as bold text.
<strong>rendered as bold text</strong>
<small>
For de-emphasizing inline or blocks of text, use the small tag.
This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.
<p> <small>This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.</small> </p>
Note: Feel free to use <b> and <i> in HTML5. <b> is meant to highlight words or phrases without conveying additional importance while <i> is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.
Notice Styles
Use the <p> tag with .success, .warning, .info or .error classes.
Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.
<p class="success">...</p>
Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.
<p class="info">...</p>
Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.
<p class="warning">...</p>
Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.
<p class="error">...</p>
Abbreviations
Stylized implementation of HTML's <abbr> element for abbreviations and acronyms to show the expanded version on hover. Abbreviations with a title attribute have a light dotted bottom border and a help cursor on hover, providing additional context on hover.
<abbr>
For expanded text on long hover of an abbreviation, include the title attribute.
An abbreviation of the word attribute is attr.
<abbr title="attribute">attr</abbr>
<abbr class="initialism">
Add .initialism to an abbreviation for a slightly smaller font-size.
HTML is the best thing since sliced bread.
<abbr title="attribute" class="initialism">attr</abbr>
Addresses
Present contact information for the nearest ancestor or the entire body of work.
<address>
Preserve formatting by ending all lines with <br>.
795 Folsom Ave, Suite 600
San Francisco, CA 94107

Blockquotes
For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document.
Default blockqoute
Wrap <blockquote> around any HTML as the quote. For straight quotes we recommend a <p>.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
<blockquote> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p> </blockquote>
Blockquote options
Style and content changes for simple variations on a standard blockquote.Naming a source
Add <small> tag for identifying the source. Wrap the name of the source work in <cite>.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
Someone famous in Source Title
<blockquote> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p> <small>Someone famous <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></small> </blockquote>
Alternate displays
Use .pull-right for a floated, right-aligned blockquote.
<blockquote class="pull-right"> ... </blockquote>

Code
Inline
Wrap inline snippets of code with <code>.
<section> should be wrapped as inline.
For example, <code><section></code> should be wrapped as inline.
Note: Be sure to keep code within <pre> tags as close to the left as possible; it will render all tabs.
You may optionally add the .pre-scrollable class which will set a max-height of 350px and provide a y-axis scrollbar.
Basic block
Use <pre> for multiple lines of code. Be sure to escape any angle brackets in the code for proper rendering.
<p>Sample text here...</p>
<pre> <p>Sample text here...</p> </pre>
Prettify
To add colored syntax highlight to the <pre> tag, then use the .prettyprint class or the .prettyprint linenums class.
<?php /** Begin Debug **/ if ($gantry->countModules('debug')) : ?>
<div id="rt-debug">
<div class="rt-container">
<?php echo $gantry->displayModules('debug','standard','standard'); ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</div>
<?php /** End Debug **/ endif; ?>

Forms
Default styles
Individual form controls receive styling, but without any required base class on the <form> or large changes in markup. Results in stacked, left-aligned labels on top of form controls.
<form>
<legend>Legend</legend>
<label>Label name</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Type something…">
<span class="help-block">Example block-level help text here.</span>
<label class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox"> Check me out
</label>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
</form>Optional layouts
Included with Bootstrap are three optional form layouts for common use cases.
Search form
Add .form-search to the form and .search-query to the <input> for an extra-rounded text input.
<form class="form-search"> <input type="text" class="input-medium search-query"> <button type="submit" class="btn">Search</button> </form>
Inline form
Add .form-inline for left-aligned labels and inline-block controls for a compact layout.
<form class="form-inline">
<input type="text" class="input-small" placeholder="Email">
<input type="password" class="input-small" placeholder="Password">
<label class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox"> Remember me
</label>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Sign in</button>
</form>
Horizontal form
Right align labels and float them to the left to make them appear on the same line as controls. Requires the most markup changes from a default form:
- Add
.form-horizontalto the form - Wrap labels and controls in
.control-group - Add
.control-labelto the label - Wrap any associated controls in
.controlsfor proper alignment
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputEmail">Email</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputPassword">Password</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="password" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
<label class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox"> Remember me
</label>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Sign in</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Supported form controls
Examples of standard form controls supported in an example form layout.
Inputs
Most common form control, text-based input fields. Includes support for all HTML5 types: text, password, datetime, datetime-local, date, month, time, week, number, email, url, search, tel, and color.
Requires the use of a specified type at all times.
<input type="text" placeholder="Text input">
Textarea
Form control which supports multiple lines of text. Change row attribute as necessary.
<textarea rows="3"></textarea>
Checkboxes and radios
Checkboxes are for selecting one or several options in a list while radios are for selecting one option from many.
Default (stacked)
<label class="checkbox"> <input type="checkbox" value=""> Option one is this and that—be sure to include why it's great </label> <label class="radio"> <input type="radio" name="optionsRadios" id="optionsRadios1" value="option1" checked> Option one is this and that—be sure to include why it's great </label> <label class="radio"> <input type="radio" name="optionsRadios" id="optionsRadios2" value="option2"> Option two can be something else and selecting it will deselect option one </label>
Inline checkboxes
Add the .inline class to a series of checkboxes or radios for controls appear on the same line.
<label class="checkbox inline"> <input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox1" value="option1"> 1 </label> <label class="checkbox inline"> <input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox2" value="option2"> 2 </label> <label class="checkbox inline"> <input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox3" value="option3"> 3 </label>
Selects
Use the default option or specify a multiple="multiple" to show multiple options at once.
<select> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> <option>5</option> </select> <select multiple="multiple"> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> <option>5</option> </select>
Extending form controls
Adding on top of existing browser controls, Bootstrap includes other useful form components.
Prepended and appended inputs
Add text or buttons before or after any text-based input. Do note thatselect elements are not supported here.Default options
Wrap an .add-on and an input with one of two classes to prepend or append text to an input.
<div class="input-prepend"> <span class="add-on">@</span><input class="span2" id="prependedInput" size="16" type="text" placeholder="Username"> </div> <div class="input-append"> <input class="span2" id="appendedInput" size="16" type="text"><span class="add-on">.00</span> </div>
Search form
<form class="form-search">
<div class="input-append">
<input type="text" class="span2 search-query">
<button type="submit" class="btn">Search</button>
</div>
<div class="input-prepend">
<button type="submit" class="btn">Search</button>
<input type="text" class="span2 search-query">
</div>
</form>
Combined
Use both classes and two instances of .add-on to prepend and append an input.
<div class="input-prepend input-append"> <span class="add-on">$</span><input class="span2" id="appendedPrependedInput" size="16" type="text"><span class="add-on">.00</span> </div>
Buttons instead of text
Instead of a <span> with text, use a .btn to attach a button (or two) to an input.
<div class="input-append"> <input class="span2" id="appendedInputButton" size="16" type="text"><button class="btn" type="button">Go!</button> </div> <div class="input-append"> <input class="span2" id="appendedInputButtons" size="16" type="text"><button class="btn" type="button">Search</button><button class="btn" type="button">Options</button> </div>
Form actions
End a form with a group of actions (buttons). When placed within a .form-horizontal, the buttons will automatically indent to line up with the form controls.
<div class="form-actions"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button> <button type="button" class="btn">Cancel</button> </div>
Help text
Inline and block level support for help text that appears around form controls.
Inline help
<input type="text"><span class="help-inline">Inline help text</span>
Block help
<input type="text"><span class="help-block">A longer block of help text that breaks onto a new line and may extend beyond one line.</span>
Control sizing
Use relative sizing classes like .input-large or match your inputs to the grid column sizes using .span* classes.
Relative sizing
<input class="input-mini" type="text" placeholder=".input-mini"> <input class="input-small" type="text" placeholder=".input-small"> <input class="input-medium" type="text" placeholder=".input-medium"> <input class="input-large" type="text" placeholder=".input-large"> <input class="input-xlarge" type="text" placeholder=".input-xlarge"> <input class="input-xxlarge" type="text" placeholder=".input-xxlarge">
Note: In future versions, we'll be altering the use of these relative input classes to match our button sizes. For example, .input-large will increase the padding and font-size of an input.
Uneditable inputs
Present data in a form that's not editable without using actual form markup.
<span class="input-xlarge uneditable-input">Some value here</span>
Form control states
Provide feedback to users or visitors with basic feedback states on form controls and labels.Input focus
We remove the default outline styles on some form controls and apply a box-shadow in its place for :focus.
<input class="input-xlarge" id="focusedInput" type="text" value="This is focused...">
Disabled inputs
Add the disabled attribute on an input to prevent user input and trigger a slightly different look.
<input class="input-xlarge" id="disabledInput" type="text" placeholder="Disabled input here..." disabled>
Validation states
Bootstrap includes validation styles for error, warning, and success messages. To use, add the appropriate class to the surrounding .control-group.
<div class="control-group warning">
<label class="control-label" for="inputWarning">Input with warning</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputWarning">
<span class="help-inline">Something may have gone wrong</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group error">
<label class="control-label" for="inputError">Input with error</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputError">
<span class="help-inline">Please correct the error</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group info">
<label class="control-label" for="inputError">Input with info</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputError">
<span class="help-inline">Username is taken</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group success">
<label class="control-label" for="inputSuccess">Input with success</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputSuccess">
<span class="help-inline">Woohoo!</span>
</div>
</div>
