Documentation and examples for common text utilities to control alignment, wrapping, weight, and more.
Text alignment
Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes.
Some placeholder text to demonstrate justified text alignment. Will you do the same for me? It's time to face the music I'm no longer your muse. Heard it's beautiful, be the judge and my girls gonna take a vote. I can feel a phoenix inside of me. Heaven is jealous of our love, angels are crying from up above. Yeah, you take me to utopia.

For left, right, and center alignment, responsive classes are available that use the same viewport width breakpoints as the grid system.
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.
<p class="text-left">Left aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-center">Center aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-right">Right aligned text on all viewport sizes.</p>
<p class="text-sm-left">Left aligned text on viewports sized SM (small) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-md-left">Left aligned text on viewports sized MD (medium) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-lg-left">Left aligned text on viewports sized LG (large) or wider.</p>
<p class="text-xl-left">Left aligned text on viewports sized XL (extra-large) or wider.</p>
Text wrapping and overflow
Wrap text with a .text-wrap
class.
<div class="badge badge-primary text-wrap" style="width: 6rem;">
This text should wrap.
</div>
Prevent text from wrapping with a .text-nowrap
class.
<div class="text-nowrap bd-highlight" style="width: 8rem;">
This text should overflow the parent.
</div>
For longer content, you can add a .text-truncate
class to truncate the text with an ellipsis. Requires display: inline-block
or display: block
.
<!-- Block level -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-2 text-truncate">
Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi.
</div>
</div>
<!-- Inline level -->
<span class="d-inline-block text-truncate" style="max-width: 150px;">
Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi.
</span>
Word break
Prevent long strings of text from breaking your components’ layout by using .text-break
to set word-wrap: break-word
and word-break: break-word
. We use word-wrap
instead of the more common overflow-wrap
for wider browser support, and add the deprecated word-break: break-word
to avoid issues with flex containers.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
<p class="text-break">mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</p>
Text transform
Transform text in components with text capitalization classes.
Lowercased text.
Uppercased text.
CapiTaliZed text.
<p class="text-lowercase">Lowercased text.</p>
<p class="text-uppercase">Uppercased text.</p>
<p class="text-capitalize">CapiTaliZed text.</p>
Note how .text-capitalize
only changes the first letter of each word, leaving the case of any other letters unaffected.

<p class="font-weight-light">Light weight text.</p>
<p class="font-weight-lighter">Lighter weight text (relative to the parent element).</p>
