  <p class="lead">For faster mobile-friendly development, use these utility classes for showing and hiding content by device via media query. Also included are utility classes for toggling content when printed.</p>
  <p>Try to use these on a limited basis and avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site. Instead, use them to complement each device's presentation.</p>


  <h2 id="responsive-utilities-classes">Available classes</h2>
  <p>Use a single or combination of the available classes for toggling content across viewport breakpoints.</p>

  <p>As of v3.2.0, the <code>.visible-*-*</code> classes for each breakpoint come in three variations, one for each CSS <code>display</code> property value listed below.</p>
  <div class="table-responsive">
    <table class="table table-bordered table-striped">
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>Group of classes</th>
          <th>CSS <code>display</code></th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <th scope="row"><code>.visible-*-block</code></th>
          <td><code>display: block;</code></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <th scope="row"><code>.visible-*-inline</code></th>
          <td><code>display: inline;</code></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <th scope="row"><code>.visible-*-inline-block</code></th>
          <td><code>display: inline-block;</code></td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </div>
  <p>So, for extra small (<code>xs</code>) screens for example, the available <code>.visible-*-*</code> classes are: <code>.visible-xs-block</code>, <code>.visible-xs-inline</code>, and <code>.visible-xs-inline-block</code>.</p>
  <p>The classes <code>.visible-xs</code>, <code>.visible-sm</code>, <code>.visible-md</code>, and <code>.visible-lg</code> also exist, but are <strong>deprecated as of v3.2.0</strong>. They are approximately equivalent to <code>.visible-*-block</code>, except with additional special cases for toggling <code>&lt;table&gt;</code>-related elements.</p>

  <h2 id="responsive-utilities-print">Print classes</h2>
  <p>Similar to the regular responsive classes, use these for toggling content for print.</p>
  <div class="table-responsive">
    <table class="table table-bordered table-striped responsive-utilities">
      <thead>
        <tr>

        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>

        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </div>
  <p>The class <code>.visible-print</code> also exists but is <strong>deprecated</strong> as of v3.2.0. It is approximately equivalent to <code>.visible-print-block</code>, except with additional special cases for <code>&lt;table&gt;</code>-related elements.</p>
