why are my media queries not working on bootstrap?
new to Bootstrap. I'm looking to increase nav font size for larger screens (iPad and up), but my media queries don't seem to be working.
// Medium devices (tablets, 768px and up)
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.nav-link {
font-size: 50px;
margin-left: 1.5%;}
} <nav class="nav">
<a class="nav-link" href="index.html">🐏</a>
<a class="nav-link" href="about.html">About </a>
<a class="nav-link" href="berlin.html">Berlin </a>
<a class="nav-link" href="los-angeles.html">LA</a>

It's because // is not a valid comment in CSS and it breaks the @media immediately following:
/* Only this comment is valid in CSS */:
/* Medium devices (tablets, 768px and up) */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.nav-link {
font-size: 50px;
margin-left: 1.5%;
}
}<nav class="nav">
<a class="nav-link" href="index.html">🐏</a>
<a class="nav-link" href="about.html">About </a>
<a class="nav-link" href="berlin.html">Berlin </a>
<a class="nav-link" href="los-angeles.html">LA</a>
</nav>Obviously, it has nothing to do with Bootstrap. Note pre-processors (such as LESS or SASS) parse // correctly, commenting the entire line (they basically turn it into a one line /* comment */ in the CSS output).
