Badge

Badges are small labels for counts, statuses and tags. They take their size from the surrounding text, so they work in headings, buttons, tables and lists alike; combine them with colour, pill shape and position utilities.

1Background colours

text-bg-* sets a background and a readable text colour in one class.
