Form controls

Textual form controls—like <input>s, <select>s, and <textarea>s—are styled with the .form-control class. Included are styles for general appearance, focus state, sizing, and more.

For all form control you can apply the additional modifier classes explained in the Inputs section: .form-control-alternative, .form-control-flush and .form-control-muted.
