Using Bootstrap code

We have label classes in bootstrap.css. See the below example of creating a simple label.
<div>
        <span class="label label-default">I'm Label</span>
</div>
Now you will see the label in your browser as below,

Different sizes of Labels:
HTML had h1,h2,h3... tags for creating different sizes of labels.
<div>
        <h1><span class="label label-default">Hello</span> Bootstrap</h1>
        <h2><span class="label label-default">Hello</span> Bootstrap</h2>
        <h3><span class="label label-default">Hello</span> Bootstrap</h3>
        <h4><span class="label label-default">Hello</span> Bootstrap</h4>
        <h5><span class="label label-default">Hello</span> Bootstrap</h5>
        <h6><span class="label label-default">Hello</span> Bootstrap</h6>
</div>

Types of Bootstrap Labels:
Bootstrap comes with different colors of label classes. Lets observe the below code,

       <span class="label label-warning">Warning</span>
       <span class="label label-info">Info</span>
       <span class="label label-success">Success</span>
