reprence code

Reboot, a collection of element-specific CSS changes in a single file, kickstart Bootstrap to provide an elegant, consistent, and simple baseline to build upon.

CSS variables

With v5.1.1, we standardized our required @imports across all our CSS bundles (including bootstrap.css, bootstrap-reboot.css, and bootstrap-grid.css) to include _root.scss. This adds :root level CSS variables to all bundles, regardless of how many of them are used in that bundle. Ultimately Bootstrap 5 will continue to see more CSS variables added over time, in order to provide more real-time customization without the need to always recompile Sass. Our approach is to take our source Sass variables and transform them into CSS variables. That way, even if you don’t use CSS variables, you still have all the power of Sass. This is still in-progress and will take time to fully implement.

Native font stack

Bootstrap utilizes a “native font stack” or “system font stack” for optimum text rendering on every device and OS. These system fonts have been designed specifically with today’s devices in mind, with improved rendering on screens, variable font support, and more. Read more about native font stacks in this Smashing Magazine article.

Note that because the font stack includes emoji fonts, many common symbol/dingbat Unicode characters will be rendered as multicolored pictographs. Their appearance will vary, depending on the style used in the browser/platform’s native emoji font, and they won’t be affected by any CSS color styles. This font-family is applied to the and automatically inherited globally throughout Bootstrap. To switch the global font-family, update $font-family-base and recompile Bootstrap.

Headings

—

have their margin-top removed, margin-bottom: .5rem set, and line-height tightened. While headings inherit their color by default, you can also override it via optional CSS variable, --bs-heading-color.

All 'p' elements have their margin-top removed and margin-bottom: 1rem set for easy spacing.

Links

Links have a default color and underline applied. While links change on :hover, they don’t change based on whether someone :visited the link. They also receive no special :focus styles.
