What is the method for switching the pre font family back to the default Bootstrap 5 style?

The default font for <pre> tags in Bootstrap 5 is typically a monospaced style, which suits most coding and programming needs. However, I'm looking to utilize a <pre> tag for formatting a poem where line breaks are crucial. In this case, I want the <pre> tag to adhere to the default sans-serif font used in Bootstrap 5 instead of the usual monospaced style. Is there a way to achieve this without manually copying and pasting Bootstrap's CSS styles?

Upon researching, I found that Bootstrap 5 does offer a specific class for applying a monospaced font family:

<p class="font-monospace">This text is displayed in monospace</p>

What I am actually searching for is the inverse of this, perhaps something similar to font-default.

Answer №1

To customize the font style of your pre element, you can assign specific class names. In this example snippet, I introduced the .poem class with a non-monospace font for the pre tag. Compare it to the text-monospace class.

body {
  padding: 20px;
}

.poem {
  font-family: cursive;
  padding: 1.5rem;
  background: #f0f0f0;  
}
.poem.inherit {
  font-family: inherit;
}

<p class="text-monospace">This is in monospace</p>
