Overview of typography choices

Turns out Bootstrap has a number of CSS enhancements. At a minimum, you will get various changes to a "standard" web page simply by employing the bootstrap.css. But, you can also do a lot more. For example, this paragraph has a class of lead.

Contrast the above paragraph with this paragraph (which does not have an asosciated Bootstrap class). In this case, the above paragraph has somewhat larger text and greater spacing between the lines. Obviously, one has to write enough text so that the paragraph will span a couple of rosw even on large desktops.

Obviously, one can also apply both the <strong> and <em> elements to draw attention to various items on a page. In this paragraph, I have simply set some text to strong and emphasized other text.

Note what happens when I use the bootstrap default styling with the <blockquote> element (next paragraph). I have not applied any classes, I am just using the default Bootstrap styling for the appropriate elements.
