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 prefixWhat 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 prefixWhat 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/suffixSize in remsRem converted to px
10.25rem4px
20.5rem8px
30.75rem12px
41rem16px
51.5rem24px
62rem32px
72.5rem40px
83rem48px
autoautoauto

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

ClassnameWhat it does
.float-leftfloat: left
.float-rightfloat: right
.flex-justify-startjustify-content: flex-start
.flex-justify-endjustify-content: flex-end
.flex-justify-betweenjustify-content: space-between
.flex-justify-aroundjustify-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

ClassnameWhat it does
.v-align-baselinevertical-align: baseline
.v-align-bottomvertical-align: bottom
.v-align-middlevertical-align: middle
.v-align-text-bottomvertical-align: text-bottom
.v-align-text-topvertical-align: text-top
.v-align-topvertical-align: top

Display

Display classes aid in adapting the layout of the elements on a page:

Class 
.d-blockdisplay: block
.d-flexdisplay: flex
.d-inlinedisplay: inline
.d-inline-blockdisplay: inline-block
.d-nonedisplay: 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 }
