<code> <pre>

Pimp your code in style with two simple tags. For even more awesomeness through javascript, drop in Google's code prettify library and you're set.

Code, blocks of or just snippets inline, can be displayed with style just by wrapping in the right tag. For blocks of code spanning multiple lines, use the <pre> element. For inline code, use the <code> element.

<div>
  <h1>Heading</h1>
  <p>Something right here...</p>
</div>

<div>
  <h1>Heading</h1>
  <p>Something right here...</p>
</div>

<span class="label">

Call attention to or flag any phrase in your body text.

Ever needed one of those fancy New! or Important flags when writing code? Well, now you have them. Here's what's included by default:

Display thumbnails of varying sizes on pages with a low HTML footprint and minimal styles.

Example thumbnails

Thumbnails in the .media-grid can be any size, but they work best when mapped directly to the built-in Bootstrap grid system.

Large

Medium

Small

Coding them

Media grids are easy to use and rather simple on the markup side. Their dimensions are purely based on the size of the images included.

<ul class="media-grid">
  <li>
    <a href="#">
      <img class="thumbnail" src="http://placehold.it/330x230" alt="">
    </a>
  </li>
  <li>
    <a href="#">
      <img class="thumbnail" src="http://placehold.it/330x230" alt="">
    </a>
  </li>
</ul>

<table> <thead> <tbody> <tr> <th> <td> <colspan> <caption>

Tables are great—for a lot of things. Great tables, however, need a bit of markup love to be useful, scalable, and readable (at the code level). Here are a few tips to help.

Always wrap your column headers in a <thead> such that hierarchy is <thead> > <tr> > <th>.

Similar to the column headers, all your table’s body content should be wrapped in a <tbody> so your hierarchy is <tbody> > <tr> > <td>.

All tables will be automatically styled with only the essential borders to ensure readability and maintain structure. No need to add extra classes or attributes.

<table>
  ...
</table>

Example: Zebra-striped

Get a little fancy with your tables by adding zebra-striping—just add the .zebra-striped class.

Note: Zebra-striping is a progressive enhancement not available for older browsers like IE8 and below.

<table class="zebra-striped">
...
</table>

Example: Zebra-striped w/ TableSorter.js

Taking the previous example, we improve the usefulness of our tables by providing sorting functionality via jQuery and the Tablesorter plugin. Click any column’s header to change the sort.

<script src="js/jquery/jquery.tablesorter.min.js"></script>
<script >
  $(function() {
    $("table#sortTableExample").tablesorter({ sortList: [[1,0]] });
  });
</script>
<table class="zebra-striped">
  ...
</table>

As a convention, buttons are used for actions while links are used for objects. For instance, "Download" could be a button and "recent activity" could be a link.

All buttons default to a light gray style, but a number of functional classes can be applied for different color styles. These classes include a blue .primary class, a light-blue .info class, a green .success class, and a red .danger class.

Button styles can be applied to anything with the .btn applied. Typically you’ll want to apply these to only <a>, <button>, and select <input> elements. Here’s how it looks:

Alternate sizes

Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Have at it!

Disabled state

For buttons that are not active or are disabled by the app for one reason or another, use the disabled state. That’s .disabled for links and :disabled for <button> elements.

Create simple secondary navigation with a <ul>. Swap between tabs or pills by adding the appropriate class.

Great for sub-sections of content like our account settings pages and user timelines for toggling between pages of like content. Available in tabbed or pill styles.

• Home
• Profile
• Messages
• Settings
• Contact
• Dropdown
  • Secondary link
  • Something else here
  • Another link

<ul class="tabs">
  <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Messages</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Settings</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

• Home
• Profile
• Messages
• Settings
• Contact

<ul class="pills">
  <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Messages</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Settings</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

Breadcrumb navigation is used as a way to show users where they are within an app or a site, but not for primary navigation.

• Home

• Home /
• Middle page

• Home /
• Middle page /
• Another one

• Home /
• Middle page /
• Another one /
• You are here

<ul class="breadcrumb">
  <li><a href="#">Home</a> <span class="divider">/</span></li>
  <li><a href="#">Middle page</a> <span class="divider">/</span></li>
  <li><a href="#">Another one</a> <span class="divider">/</span></li>
  <li class="active">You are here</li>
</ul>

Ultra simplistic and minimally styled pagination inspired by Rdio. The large block is hard to miss, easily scalable, and provides large click areas.

<div class="pagination">
  <ul>
    <li class="prev disabled"><a href="#">&larr; Previous</a></li>
    <li class="active"><a href="#">1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">4</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">5</a></li>
    <li class="next"><a href="#">Next &rarr;</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

.alert-message

One-line messages for highlighting the failure, possible failure, or success of an action. Particularly useful for forms.

Example code

<div class="alert-message warning">
  <a class="close" href="#">×</a>
  <p><strong>Holy guacamole!</strong> Best check yo self, you’re not looking too good.</p>
</div>

.alert-message.block-message

For messages that require a bit of explanation, we have paragraph style alerts. These are perfect for bubbling up longer error messages, warning a user of a pending action, or just presenting information for more emphasis on the page.

Example code

<div class="alert-message block-message warning">
  <a class="close" href="#">×</a>
  <p><strong>Holy guacamole! This is a warning!</strong> Best check yo self, you’re not looking too good. Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue. Praesent commodo cursus magna, vel scelerisque nisl consectetur et.</p>
  <div class="alert-actions">
    <a class="btn small" href="#">Take this action</a> <a class="btn small" href="#">Or do this</a>
  </div>
</div>

Modals—dialogs or lightboxes—are great for contextual actions in situations where it’s important that the background context be maintained.

Twipsies are super useful for aiding a confused user and pointing them in the right direction.

Use popovers to provide subtextual information to a page without affecting layout.
