Mark Otto 466d36e541 Redo all our callouts with the custom callout plugin
- Replaces manual use of .bd-callout with {% callout [type] %}
- Rearranged some callouts for proximity to others
- Turned long lists of callouts--like those on tooltips, plugings, etc--into a list because holy shit that's overwhelming

Group a series of buttons together on a single line with the button group. Add on optional JavaScript radio and checkbox style behavior with [our buttons plugin](../javascript/#buttons).

#### Tooltips & popovers in button groups require special setting
When using tooltips or popovers on elements within a `.btn-group`, you'll have to specify the option `container: 'body'` to avoid unwanted side effects (such as the element growing wider and/or losing its rounded corners when the tooltip or popover is triggered).
{% endcallout %}
{% callout warning %}
#### Ensure correct `role` and provide a label
In order for assistive technologies such as screen readers to convey that a series of buttons is grouped, an appropriate `role` attribute needs to be provided. For button groups, this would be `role="group"`, while toolbars should have a `role="toolbar"`.
In addition, groups and toolbars should be given an explicit label, as most assistive technologies will otherwise not announce them, despite the presence of the correct `role` attribute. In the examples provided here, we use `aria-label`, but alternatives such as `aria-labelledby` can also be used.
{% endcallout %}
### Basic example
Wrap a series of buttons with `.btn` in `.btn-group`.
{% example html %}
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Basic example">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Right</button>
</div>
{% endexample %}
### Button toolbar
Combine sets of button groups into button toolbars for more complex components.
{% example html %}
<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="First group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">1</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">2</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">3</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">4</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Second group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">5</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">6</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">7</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Third group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">8</button>
</div>
</div>
{% endexample %}
### Sizing
Instead of applying button sizing classes to every button in a group, just add `.btn-group-*` to each `.btn-group`, including each one when nesting multiple groups.
<div class="bd-example">
<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg" role="group" aria-label="Large button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Right</button>
</div>
<br>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Default button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Right</button>
</div>
<br>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm" role="group" aria-label="Small button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Right</button>
</div>
<br>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-xs" role="group" aria-label="Extra small button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Middle</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Right</button>
</div>
</div>
{% highlight html %}
<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-xs" role="group" aria-label="...">...</div>
{% endhighlight %}
### Nesting
Place a `.btn-group` within another `.btn-group` when you want dropdown menus mixed with a series of buttons.
{% example html %}
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Button group with nested dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">1</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">2</button>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button id="btnGroupDrop1" type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupDrop1">
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
{% endexample %}
### Vertical variation
Make a set of buttons appear vertically stacked rather than horizontally. **Split button dropdowns are not supported here.**
<div class="bd-example">
<div class="btn-group-vertical" role="group" aria-label="Vertical button group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Button</button>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button id="btnGroupVerticalDrop1" type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupVerticalDrop1">
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Button</button>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button id="btnGroupVerticalDrop2" type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupVerticalDrop2">
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button id="btnGroupVerticalDrop3" type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupVerticalDrop3">
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button id="btnGroupVerticalDrop4" type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupVerticalDrop4">
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Dropdown link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% highlight html %}
<div class="btn-group-vertical">
...
</div>
{% endhighlight %}
