Spacing
These spacers are available to use for margins and padding with responsive utility classes. Combine these prefixes with a screen size and spacing scale to use them responsively.
| Classname prefix | What it does | 
|---|---|
.m- | margin | 
.mx- | margin-left, margin-right | 
.my- | margin top, margin bottom | 
.mt- | margin-top | 
.mr- | margin-right | 
.mb- | margin-bottom | 
.ml- | margin-left | 
| Classname prefix | What it does | 
|---|---|
.p- | padding | 
.px- | padding-left, padding-right | 
.py- | padding top, padding bottom | 
.pt- | padding-top | 
.pr- | padding-right | 
.pb- | padding-bottom | 
.pl- | padding-left | 
Spacing values are based on a 1rem = 16px spacing scale, broken down into these units:
| Spacer/suffix | Size in rems | Rem converted to px | 
|---|---|---|
1 | 0.25rem | 4px | 
2 | 0.5rem | 8px | 
3 | 0.75rem | 12px | 
4 | 1rem | 16px | 
5 | 1.5rem | 24px | 
6 | 2rem | 32px | 
7 | 2.5rem | 40px | 
8 | 3rem | 48px | 
auto | auto | auto | 
Use mx-auto to horizontally center elements.
Examples
In Markdown, use the {: } wrapper to apply custom classes:
This paragraph will have a margin bottom of 1rem/16px at large screens.
{: .mb-lg-4 }
This paragraph will have 2rem/32px of padding on the right and left at all screen sizes.
{: .px-6 }
Horizontal Alignment
| Classname | What it does | 
|---|---|
.float-left | float: left | 
.float-right | float: right | 
.flex-justify-start | justify-content: flex-start | 
.flex-justify-end | justify-content: flex-end | 
.flex-justify-between | justify-content: space-between | 
.flex-justify-around | justify-content: space-around | 
Note: any of the flex- classes must be used on a parent element that has d-flex applied to it.
Vertical Alignment
| Classname | What it does | 
|---|---|
.v-align-baseline | vertical-align: baseline | 
.v-align-bottom | vertical-align: bottom | 
.v-align-middle | vertical-align: middle | 
.v-align-text-bottom | vertical-align: text-bottom | 
.v-align-text-top | vertical-align: text-top | 
.v-align-top | vertical-align: top | 
Display
Display classes aid in adapting the layout of the elements on a page:
| Class | |
|---|---|
.d-block | display: block | 
.d-flex | display: flex | 
.d-inline | display: inline | 
.d-inline-block | display: inline-block | 
.d-none | display: none | 
Use these classes in conjunction with the responsive modifiers.
Examples
In Markdown, use the {: } wrapper to apply custom classes:
This button will be hidden until medium screen sizes:
[ A button ](#url)
{: .d-none .d-md-inline-block }
These headings will be `inline-block`:
### heading 3
{: .d-inline-block }
### heading 3
{: .d-inline-block }
