what is the difference between 'p-t-3' and 'pt-5'?

'p-t-3' means padding top 3 rem. then what does 'pt-5' stand for? If bootstrap doesn't use rem unit anymore, what unit do they use for measurement?

You can read more at the Boostrap 4 Documentation: Spacing, but essentially the values for spacing range from 0 - 3rem as follows:

  • 0 - Zero
  • 1 - 0.25rem
  • 2 - 0.5rem
  • 3 - 1.0rem
  • 4 - 1.5rem
  • 5 - 3.0rem

These are the defaults but the Sass variables can be modified.
