    <table class="table table-striped table-hover">
      <thead class="table-dark">
        <tr>
          <th scope="col">#</th>
          <th scope="col">Name</th>
          <th scope="col">Email</th>
          <th scope="col">Role</th>
          <th scope="col">Status</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <th scope="row">1</th>
          <td>Alice Johnson</td>
          <td>alice@example.com</td>
          <td>Admin</td>
          <td><span class="badge bg-success">Active</span></td>
        </tr>
        <tr class="table-warning">
          <th scope="row">2</th>
          <td>Bob Smith</td>
          <td>bob@example.com</td>
          <td>User</td>
          <td><span class="badge bg-warning">Pending</span></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <th scope="row">3</th>
          <td>Carol White</td>
          <td>carol@example.com</td>
          <td>Editor</td>
          <td><span class="badge bg-danger">Inactive</span></td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </div>

  <h2>Bordered Table</h2>
  <table class="table table-bordered border-primary">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Feature</th>
        <th>Free</th>
        <th>Pro</th>
