Heading classes

In Bootstrap 4 and 5, you can use the h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6 classes to make any element look like a heading.

Display

In Boostrap 4 and 5 you can use the display-1, display-2, display-3, and display-4 classes. In Bootstrap 5, you also have the display-5 and display-6 classes as well.

Lead

In Bootstrap 4 and 5 you can use the lead class to make a paragraph element stand out.

Alignment

In Bootstrap 4, you can use the text-left, text-center, and text-right classes to align text.

In v5, you can use the text-start, text-center, and text-end classes.

Text transform

In v4 and v5, you can use the text-lowercase, text-uppercase, text-capitalize classes to transform the text.

Font size

In v5, you can use the fs-1, fs-2, fs-3, fs-4, fs-5, and fs-6 classes to change the font size of an element. These classes only change the font size, whereas the heading classes above change the font-size, font-weight, and line-height properties.

Line height

In v5, you can use the fw-bold, fw-bolder, fw-normal, fw-light, and fw-lighter to change the font-weight. You can use the fst-normal and fst-italic classes to change the font style.

Text decoration

In v4, you can use the text-decoration-none class to remove the underline from an element.

In v5, you can use the text-decoration-underline, text-decoration-line-through, and text-decoration-none classes to change the text decoration.
