This is done by defining column classes based on screen size breakpoints.</div>

<h1>Bootstrap 4 Stacked and Horizontal Columns</h1>
<h2>1. <strong>Stacked on Smaller Screens, Horizontal on Larger Screens</strong></h2>
<p>To create columns that stack on smaller screens and display horizontally on larger screens, use <code>.col-*</code> classes based on the desired breakpoint:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Extra Small (xs)</strong>: Default behavior (stacks by default)</li>
<li><strong>Small (sm)</strong>: <code>&ge;576px</code></li>
<li><strong>Medium (md)</strong>: <code>&ge;768px</code></li>
<li><strong>Large (lg)</strong>: <code>&ge;992px</code></li>
<li><strong>Extra Large (xl)</strong>: <code>&ge;1200px</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>Example: Stacked on Extra Small, Horizontal on Medium and Larger</h3>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">html</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">
<div class="absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center">
<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt;
    &lt;div class="row"&gt;
        &lt;div class="col-md-6"&gt;Column 1&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="col-md-6"&gt;Column 2&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>In this example:</p>
<ul>
<li>On screens smaller than 768px, columns stack vertically (default).</li>
<li>On medium screens and larger (&ge;768px), both columns will display side-by-side.</li>
</ul>
<h2>2. <strong>Responsive Stacking for Multiple Breakpoints</strong></h2>
<p>You can control stacking for different breakpoints by specifying the classes for each screen size.</p>
<h3>Example: Stacked on Small, Horizontal on Large</h3>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">html</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">
<div class="absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center">
<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt;
    &lt;div class="row"&gt;
        &lt;div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-4"&gt;Column 1&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-4"&gt;Column 2&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-4"&gt;Column 3&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>In this example:</p>
<ul>
<li>On small screens (<code>&lt;576px</code>), all columns will stack vertically.</li>
<li>On large screens (&ge;992px), each column will occupy one-third of the row, displaying horizontally.</li>
</ul>
<h2>3. <strong>Centering Stacked Columns</strong></h2>
<p>Use flex utilities with the <code>justify-content-center</code> class to center columns when stacked.</p>
<h3>Example: Centered Stacked Columns on Small Screens</h3>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">html</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">
<div class="absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center">
<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt;
    &lt;div class="row justify-content-center"&gt;
        &lt;div class="col-sm-10 col-md-6"&gt;Column 1&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="col-sm-10 col-md-6"&gt;Column 2&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Here:</p>
<ul>
<li>On small screens, each column is centered and stacked.</li>
<li>On medium screens and above, columns display horizontally.</li>
</ul>
<h2>4. <strong>Responsive Offset for Stacked Layouts</strong></h2>
<p>Use <code>.offset-*</code> classes to add space to the left of columns for custom alignment.</p>
<h3>Example: Responsive Offset with Stacked Layout</h3>
<div class="contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-gray-950">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9 bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">html</div>
<div class="sticky top-9 md:top-[5.75rem]">
<div class="absolute bottom-0 right-2 flex h-9 items-center">
<div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-sidebar-surface-primary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary dark:bg-token-main-surface-secondary">
<pre class="language-markup"><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt;
    &lt;div class="row"&gt;
        &lt;div class="col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-4 offset-md-0"&gt;Column 1&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-4 offset-md-0"&gt;Column 2&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>This example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Centers columns on small screens using <code>.offset-sm-1</code>.</li>
<li>Columns are horizontally aligned on medium and larger screens without offset.</li>
</ul>
