Insufficient documentation for column offsetting

[thepurpleblob]

In Grid system > Offsetting columns it says...

With the move to flexbox in v4, we no longer have v3’s style of offset classes. Instead, use margin utilities like .mr-auto to force sibling columns away from one another.

There is no further clue what this means. What is '.mr-auto'? The example doesn't help. Well, it doesn't help me anyway.

Ahh... I assume it's talking about this stuff, http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/utilities/spacing/

How would you know? It needs a link at least.

For me what is not clear from the docs is, using mr-auto/ ml-auto etc., is it possible to achieve what we can with bootstrap 3 offsets.
Say for example I want to create a layout with col-6 offset by 4 cols inside a row.
In BS 3, I could do, .col-offset-4 .col-6, how to achieve this in BS 4?

Yeh - I don't get it either. I couldn't get the ml-auto style things to do anything useful. I gave up and stuck some empty columns in. It's not as elegant but gets the job done.

yes not proper way to do every things ...

but be happy all this class are back ...
