+Bootstrap includes dozens of utilities—classes with a single purpose. They're designed to keep the number of declarations in your CSS down while allowing for quick and easy development.

+### Text alignment
+
+Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes.
+
+{% example html %}
+<p class="text-left">Left aligned text.</p>
+<p class="text-center">Center aligned text.</p>
+<p class="text-right">Right aligned text.</p>
+<p class="text-justify">Justified text.</p>
+<p class="text-nowrap">No wrap text.</p>
+{% endexample %}
+
+### Text transform
+
+Transform text in components with text capitalization classes.
+
+{% example html %}
+<p class="text-lowercase">Lowercased text.</p>
+<p class="text-uppercase">Uppercased text.</p>
+<p class="text-capitalize">Capitalized text.</p>
+{% endexample %}

+### Screen readers
Hide an element to all devices **except screen readers** with `.sr-only`. Combine `.sr-only` with `.sr-only-focusable` to show the element again when it's focused (e.g. by a keyboard-only user). Necessary for following [accessibility best practices](../getting-started/#accessibility). Can also be used as mixins.
