Emphasis

Make use of HTML's default emphasis tags with lightweight styles.

Small

For de-emphasizing inline or blocks of text, use the <small> tag.

This is a normal text, and the text is reduced. 
<p>This is a normal text, and the <small>text is reduced</small>.</p>

Bold

For emphasizing inline or blocks of text, use the <strong> tag.

This is a normal text, and the text is strong. 
<p>This is a normal text, and the <strong>text is strong</strong>.</p>

Italic

For emphasizing a snippet of text with italics use <em> tag.

This is a normal text, and the text is italics. 
<p>This is a normal text, and the <em>text is italics</em>.</p>


Heads up! 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.


Alignment classes

Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes.

<p class="text-left">Left aligned text.<p>
<p class="text-center">Left aligned text.<p>
