Question

I am having trouble understanding the Twittter Bootstrap framework. Does it allow for basic padding around containers?

There seems to be a default 20px margin left but no padding. Anyone here managed to solve this issue?

This works fine if your background is white but the moment I place a color behind a container, I get no padding and if I add padding, my layout breaks. Am I doing something wrong?

.light {
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  background: url(/img/background.png);
  padding: 1em;
}
