Tables
Bootstrap table classes improve the readability of tabular data while preserving semantic table structure.
Core concept
Explain table, table-striped, table-hover, table-bordered, contextual rows, align-middle, and responsive wrappers. Emphasize the importance of th, scope, thead, and tbody.
Using it in a real interface
Build an orders table with status badges and a responsive wrapper. Explain why the wrapper should own horizontal scrolling on small screens instead of forcing the entire page to scroll.
Implementation notes
Do not turn tables into arbitrary div layouts when the data is genuinely tabular. Semantic tables provide relationships that CSS alone cannot recreate reliably.
