    <li class="is-active">
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-image" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Pictures</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-music" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Music</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-film" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Videos</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="far fa-file-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Documents</span>
      </a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>
    

If you want mutually exclusive tabs (like radio buttons where clicking one deselects all other ones), use the is-toggle modifier.

      <div class="tabs is-toggle">
  <ul>
    <li class="is-active">
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-image" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Pictures</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-music" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Music</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-film" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Videos</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="far fa-file-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Documents</span>
      </a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>
    

If you use both is-toggle and is-toggle-rounded, the first and last items will be rounded.

      <div class="tabs is-toggle is-toggle-rounded">
  <ul>
    <li class="is-active">
      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-image"></i></span>
        <span>Pictures</span>
      </a>
    </li>

      <a>
        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-music"></i></span>
        <span>Music</span>

        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-film"></i></span>
        <span>Videos</span>

        <span class="icon is-small"><i class="fas fa-file-alt"></i></span>
        <span>Documents</span>
      </a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>
    

If you want the tabs to take up the whole width available, use is-fullwidth.

Left
Up
Right

      <div class="tabs is-fullwidth">
  <ul>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon"><i class="fas fa-angle-left" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Left</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span class="icon"><i class="fas fa-angle-up" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
        <span>Up</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a>
        <span>Right</span>
        <span class="icon"><i class="fas fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
      </a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>
    

Combining #

You can combine different modifiers. For example, you can have centered boxed tabs, or fullwidth toggle ones.
