In the update notes p-t-3 is no longer 3rem. pt-5 is. What is this now measured in? What is the measurement relative to?

Bootstrap no longer uses class names like this p-t-3 to define the location, size and type of spacing (padding or margin). They've decided to remove the first hyphen character, so the correct class name would be pt-3. The spacing values discussed in the video no longer reflect full REM values. In other words, pt-3 does not add 3 rem to the top padding. It actually is just 1 rem. To get the spacing above the headline as seen in the video the top margin should be pt-5.

What is this now relative to? Thank you in advance

I know this question is old, but for anyone who still has this question:

It's still measured in rem's, but it goes from .25rem-3rem

"Where size is one of:

0 - for classes that eliminate the margin or padding by setting it to 0 1 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * .25 2 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * .5 3 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer 4 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * 1.5 5 - (by default) for classes that set the margin or padding to $spacer * 3 (You can add more sizes by adding entries to the $spacers Sass map variable.)"

This can be found under Utilities then Spacing.
