How to vertically center a text in a column (bootstrap 4)?

Question

You can add the my-auto class to the parent <div class="col-md-6"> to achieve this. This class sets automatic margins on the y-axis, see the link above for more details.

It would look like this:

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-6 my-auto">
      <span>Text to center</span>
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-6">
      <h1>Hello</h1>
      <h1>Hello</h1>
      <h1>Hello</h1>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

You might be tempted to use vertical alignment utilities but these will only work on inline, inline-block, inline-table, and table cell elements.
