Here's the boilerplate that you can copy and paste when creating a new web page with Bootstrap 5.1.3. This comes from the Bootstrap documentation, with some modification to load the icon library as well:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <!-- Required meta tags -->
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-1BmE4kWBq78iYhFldvKuhfTAU6auU8tT94WrHftjDbrCEXSU1oBoqyl2QvZ6jIW3" crossorigin="anonymous">

    <!-- Bootstrap Icon library -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/font/bootstrap-icons.css" integrity="sha384-He3RckdFB2wffiHOcESa3sf4Ida+ni/fw9SSzAcfY2EPnU1zkK/sLUzw2C5Tyuhj" crossorigin="anonymous">

    <title>TITLE_GOES_HERE</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col">
MAIN_CONTENT_GOES_HERE
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

    <!-- Bootstrap Bundle with Popper -->
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-ka7Sk0Gln4gmtz2MlQnikT1wXgYsOg+OMhuP+IlRH9sENBO0LRn5q+8nbTov4+1p" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
  </body>
</html>

I created this for my own use whenever I start a new Bootstrap web page. Feel free to edit as needed. I'll also try to update this page as new versions of Bootstrap come out.
