How do I make a Bootstrap container responsive across different breakpoints without affecting its max-width?

Answer

To create a responsive Bootstrap container that adjusts across different breakpoints while maintaining its max-width, you can use the Bootstrap container classes like "container", "container-sm", "container-md", etc. These classes automatically adjust the container's width based on the viewport size.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
        <div class="container">
            <h1>Responsive Container</h1>
            <p>This container adjusts its width based on the viewport size.</p>
        </div>
        <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Use the "container" class for a responsive fixed-width container that adapts at each breakpoint.
To customize for specific breakpoints, use "container-sm", "container-md", "container-lg", or "container-xl".
These classes ensure the container's max-width is automatically set according to the Bootstrap grid system.
No additional CSS is needed for responsiveness as Bootstrap handles it internally.
