<li>Use rows to create horizontal groups of columns.</li>
<li>Content should be placed within columns, and only columns may be immediate children of rows.</li>
<li>Predefined grid classes like <code>.row</code> and <code>.col-xs-4</code> are available for quickly making grid layouts. LESS mixins can also be used for more semantic layouts.</li>
<li>Columns create gutters (gaps between column content) via <code>padding</code>. That padding is offset in rows for the first and last column via negative margin on <code>.row</code>s.</li>
