Working with Bootstrap

I used Bootstrap on the Wiki report project. I saw some code for creating a working Contact form using Bootstrap. That code inspired me to use Bootstrap in my project to display MediaWiki API response data.

Bootstrap has table formatting CSS already defined http://getbootstrap.com/css/#tables

Not only does Bootstrap have CSS handled, but there is a whole lot of JavaScript functionality that is built-in and which can be extended. (See http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/)

By default, Bootstrap relies on jQuery, and includes a bunch of plugins. If you need to turn off the first-class API, unbind all events on the namespaced 'data-api' class: $(document).off('.data-api')
