Decrease in font size observed after implementing Bootstrap 5

The issue arises when I include the Boostrap CDN link, resulting in a change in font size.

I discovered that Bootstrap has a default font size, which is why attempts to adjust it using an external style sheet with !important do not succeed. Interestingly, changing the font size works only when done within an inline style sheet.

div.banner {
    font-size: 500% !important;
}
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="680a07071c1b1c1a0918285d465a">[email protected]</a>/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e0828f8f949394928190a0d5ced2ced2">[email protected]</a>/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>

<main>
  <div class="banner">
    <h1 class="slideUp" style="font-family: 'EB Garamond', serif">
      Yasuní National Park<br />
      <span style="font-size: 40%">&nbsp; between oil exploitation and conservation</span>
    </h1>
  </div>
</main>

This section of my code attempts to modify the font size of the <h1> tag by using the following CSS rule. However, despite specifying it as important, the change does not take effect. Can you help me understand why?

div.banner {
    font-size: 500% !important;
}

Answer №1

One of the first steps is adjusting font sizes using em, rem, and px units.

Consider this CSS snippet:

Imagine you have set the font size for your entire document like so

* {
  font-size: 20px;
}

in pixels.

If we want to modify a specific part of your code, we can do it like this:

<span style="font-size: 40%;">&nbsp; between oil exploitation and conservation</span></h1>

Most commonly, we use rem as follows:

<span style="font-size: 2rem;">&nbsp; between oil exploitation and conservation</span></h1>



//2rem means -> default 20px(declared) * 2 = 40px will be the font-size of 2rem, 3 rem is 60, etc.

I see you also mentioned specificity.

Avoid using important even during testing phases.

The order of priority is 

inline styling -> then IDs -> classes.
