Bootstrap 5 Badges

Badges

Badges are used to add additional information to any content:

Example heading New

Use the .badge class together with a contextual class (like .bg-secondary) within <span> elements to create rectangular badges. Note that badges scale to match the size of the parent element (if any):

Example

<h1>Example heading <span class="badge bg-secondary">New</span></h1>
<h2>Example heading <span class="badge bg-secondary">New</span></h2>
<h3>Example heading <span class="badge bg-secondary">New</span></h3>
<h4>Example heading <span class="badge bg-secondary">New</span></h4>
<h5>Example heading <span class="badge bg-secondary">New</span></h5>
<h6>Example heading <span class="badge bg-secondary">New</span></h6>
