     <ul>
       <li>Text-based form controls are now 100% wide. Wrap inputs inside <code>&lt;div class="col-*"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</code> to control input widths.</li>
       <li><code>.badge</code> no longer has contextual (-success,-primary,etc..) classes.</li>
       <li><code>.btn</code> must also use <code>.btn-default</code> to get the "default" button.</li>
       <li><code>.container</code> and <code>.row</code> are now fluid (percentage-based).</li>
       <li>Images are no longer responsive by default. Use <code>.img-responsive</code> for fluid <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> size.</li>
-      <li>The icons, now <code>.glyphicon</code>, are now font based. They also require a base and icon class (e.g. <code>.glyphicon .glyphicon-asterisk</code>).</li>
