Lead text
The lead class makes an introductory paragraph stand out from the rest.
In this page:
Syntax
<p class="lead">Intro paragraph text.</p>Lead text
Adding .lead to a paragraph increases its font size and lightens its weight. It is typically used for the first paragraph after a heading. Use .fs-* classes for other size steps.
Note:
fs-1 to fs-6 set font sizes independently of the heading tags.
Example: Lead text
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<body class="p-3">
<div class="container">
<h2>Article title</h2>
