Grid system
===============================================================================
.. lead::

   Bootstrap includes a responsive, mobile first fluid grid system that
   appropriately scales up to 12 columns as the device or viewport size
   increases. It includes predefined classes for easy layout options, as well
   as powerful mixins for generating more semantic layouts.
.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Introduction
------------

Grid systems are used for creating page layouts through a series of rows and
columns that house your content. Here's how the Bootstrap grid system works:

* Rows must be placed within a `.container` (fixed-width) or `.container-fluid`
  (full-width) for proper alignment and padding.
* Use rows to create horizontal groups of columns.
* Content should be placed within columns, and only columns may be immediate children of rows.
* Predefined grid classes like `.row` and `.col-xs-4` are available for quickly
  making grid layouts. Less mixins can also be used for more semantic layouts.
* Columns create gutters (gaps between column content) via padding. That
  padding is offset in rows for the first and last column via negative margin
  on `.row` s.
* Grid columns are created by specifying the number of twelve available columns
  you wish to span. For example, three equal columns would use three `.col-xs-4`.
  Look to the examples for applying these principles to your code.

Media queries
-------------

We use the following media queries in our Less files to create the key
breakpoints in our grid system.

.. code:: css
   :class: highlight

   /* Extra small devices (phones, less than 768px) */
   /* No media query since this is the default in Bootstrap */

   /* Small devices (tablets, 768px and up) */
   @media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) { ... }

   /* Medium devices (desktops, 992px and up) */
   @media (min-width: @screen-md-min) { ... }

   /* Large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up) */
   @media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) { ... }

We occasionally expand on these media queries to include a max-width to limit
CSS to a narrower set of devices.

.. code:: css
   :class: highlight

   @media (max-width: @screen-xs-max) { ... }
   @media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) and (max-width: @screen-sm-max) { ... }
   @media (min-width: @screen-md-min) and (max-width: @screen-md-max) { ... }
   @media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) { ... }

Grid classes apply to devices with screen widths greater than or equal to the
breakpoint sizes, and override grid classes targeted at smaller
devices. Therefore, applying any `.col-md-` class to an element will not only
affect its styling on medium devices but also on large devices if a `.col-lg-`
class is not present.


Example: Stacked-to-horizontal
------------------------------

Using a single set of `.col-md-*` grid classes, you can create a basic grid
system that starts out stacked on mobile devices and tablet devices (the extra
small to small range) before becoming horizontal on desktop (medium)
devices. Place grid columns in any `.row`.

.. row:: show-grid

   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1
   .. column:: .col-md-1

.. row:: show-grid

   .. column:: .col-md-8
      :width: 8
   .. column:: .col-md-4
      :width: 4

.. row:: show-grid

   .. column:: .col-md-4
      :width: 4
   .. column:: .col-md-4
      :width: 4
   .. column:: .col-md-4
      :width: 4

.. row:: show-grid

   .. column:: .col-md-6
      :width: 6
   .. column:: .col-md-6
      :width: 6


Offsetting columns
------------------

Move columns to the right using `.col-md-offset-*` classes. These classes
increase the left margin of a column by * columns. For example,
`.col-md-offset-4` moves `.col-md-4` over four columns.


.. row:: show-grid

   .. column:: .col-md-4
      :width: 4
   .. column:: .col-md-4
      :width: 4
      :offset: 4


.. row:: show-grid

   .. column:: .col-md-3
      :width: 3
      :offset: 3

   .. column:: .col-md-3
      :width: 3
      :offset: 3


.. row:: show-grid

   .. column:: .col-md-6
      :width: 6
      :offset: 3


Nesting columns
---------------

To nest your content with the default grid, add a new `.row` and set of
`.col-md-*` columns within an existing `.col-md-*` column. Nested rows should
include a set of columns that add up to 12 or less.

.. row:: show-grid

   .. column:: Level 1: .col-md-9
      :width: 9

      .. row:: show-grid

         .. column:: Level 2: .col-md-6
            :width: 6
         .. column:: Level 2: .col-md-6
            :width: 6


Column ordering
---------------

Easily change the order of our built-in grid columns with .col-md-push-* and
.col-md-pull-* modifier classes.


.. row:: show-grid

   .. column:: .col-md-9 . col-push-3
      :width: 9
      :push: 3

   .. column:: .col-md-3 . col-pull-9
      :width: 3
      :pull: 9

.. code::
   :class: highlight

   .. column:: .col-md-9 . col-push-3
      :width: 9
      :push: 3

   .. column:: .col-md-3 . col-pull-9
      :width: 3
      :pull: 9
