Tables

Documentation and examples for opt-in styling of tables (given their prevalent use in JavaScript plugins) with Bootstrap.

Examples

# First Last Handle
1 Mark Otto @mdo
2 Jacob Thornton @fat
3 Larry the Bird @twitter 
<!-- Basic table -->
<table class="table">
   <thead>
      <tr>
         <th scope="col">#</th>
         <th scope="col">First</th>
         <th scope="col">Last</th>
         <th scope="col">Handle</th>
      </tr>
   </thead>
   <tbody>
      <tr>
         <th scope="row">1</th>
         <td>Mark</td>
         <td>Otto</td>
         <td>@mdo</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <th scope="row">2</th>
         <td>Jacob</td>
         <td>Thornton</td>
         <td>@fat</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <th scope="row">3</th>
         <td>Larry</td>
         <td>the Bird</td>
         <td>@twitter</td>
      </tr>
   </tbody>
</table>
<!-- basic table -->

You can also invert the colors—with light text on dark backgrounds—with .table-dark.

How nesting works

To prevent any styles from leaking to nested tables, we use the child combinator (>) selector in our CSS. Since we need to target all the td s and th s in the thead , tbody , and tfoot , our selector would look pretty long without it. As such, we use the rather odd looking .table > :not(caption) > * > * selector to target all td and th of the .table , but none of any potential nested tables.
