Responsive margins and paddings

You can use the standard sm, md, lg and xl breakpoints for padding and margin classes (with the exception of side-specific ones - mt-*, pt-*, ml-*, pl-*, etc.).

Forcing a padding or a margin on a component

Many components already have margins and paddings set, so you may have to add ! to the beginning of the class name to apply the !important css declaration to force its use.
