Bootstrap 5 Text/Typography
Bootstrap 5 Default Settings
Bootstrap 5 uses a default font-size of 1rem (16px by default), and its line-height is 1.5.
In addition, all <p> elements have margin-top: 0 and margin-bottom: 1rem (16px by default).
<h1> - <h6>
Bootstrap 5 styles HTML headings (<h1> to <h6>) with a bolder font-weight and a responsive font-size.
You can also use .h1 to .h6 classes on other elements to make them behave as headings if you want:
Example
<p class="h1">h1 Bootstrap heading</p>
<p class="h2">h2 Bootstrap heading</p>
<p class="h3">h3 Bootstrap heading</p>
<p class="h4">h4 Bootstrap heading</p>
<p class="h5">h5 Bootstrap heading</p>
<p class="h6">h6 Bootstrap heading</p>

<small>
In Bootstrap 5 the HTML <small> element (and the .small class) is used to create a smaller, secondary text in any heading:
<mark>

<abbr>
Bootstrap 5 will style the HTML <abbr> element with a dotted border bottom and a cursor with question mark on hover:
