Bootstrap Badges and Labels

Badges

Badges are numerical indicators of how many items are associated with a link:

News 5
Comments 10
Updates 2

The numbers (5, 10, and 2) are the badges.

Use the .badge class within <span> elements to create badges:

<a href="#">News <span class="badge">5</span></a><br>
<a href="#">Comments <span class="badge">10</span></a><br>
<a href="#">Updates <span class="badge">2</span></a>

Badges can also be used inside other elements, such as buttons:

The following example shows how to add badges to buttons:

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary <span class="badge">7</span></button>

Labels

Labels are used to provide additional information about something:

Use the .label class,  followed by one of the six contextual classes .label-default, .label-primary, .label-success, .label-info, .label-warning or .label-danger, within a <span> element to create a label:

<h1>Example <span class="label label-default">New</span></h1>
<h2>Example <span class="label label-default">New</span></h2>
<h3>Example <span class="label label-default">New</span></h3>
<h4>Example <span class="label label-default">New</span></h4>
<h5>Example <span class="label label-default">New</span></h5>
<h6>Example <span class="label label-default">New</span></h6>

The following example shows all contextual label classes:

<span class="label label-default">Default Label</span>
<span class="label label-primary">Primary Label</span>
<span class="label label-success">Success Label</span>
