{{< callout warning >}}
##### Warning

The `text-hide()` class and mixin has been deprecated as of v4.1. It will be removed entirely in v5.
{{< /callout >}}

Utilize the `.text-hide` class or mixin to help replace an element's text content with a background image.

{{< highlight html >}}
<h1 class="text-hide">Custom heading</h1>
{{< /highlight >}}

{{< highlight scss >}}
// Usage as a mixin
.heading {
  @include text-hide;
}
{{< /highlight >}}

Use the `.text-hide` class to maintain the accessibility and SEO benefits of heading tags, but want to utilize a `background-image` instead of text.

<div class="bd-example">
  <h1 class="text-hide" style="background-image: url('/docs/{{< param docs_version >}}/assets/brand/bootstrap-solid.svg'); width: 50px; height: 50px;">Bootstrap</h1>
</div>

{{< highlight html >}}
<h1 class="text-hide" style="background-image: url('...');">Bootstrap</h1>
{{< /highlight >}}
