* Keep checks/radio toggle buttons on topic - give examples of the pure toggle checks and radios, without the button group class. show that these work fine without `.btn-group`, but still cross-reference it - move the explanation from "Checkbox toggle buttons" directly to "Toggle buttons", as the mention of using button classes applies equally to the subsequent "Radio toggle buttons" and "Outlined styles" subsections. * Expand button group description as it's not just single line, but vertical as well * Expand button group examples - add more colour ... `.btn-secondary` is just dull and uninspiring - new section to showcase "Checkbox and radio button groups" - add a mixed styles example - add an example of vertical radio button group

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.

These classes can also be added to groups of links, as an alternative to the [.nav navigation components]({{< docsref "/components/navs" >}}).

Checkbox and radio button groups
Combine button-like checkbox and radio [toggle buttons]({{< docsref "/forms/checks-radios" >}}) into a seamless looking button group.

Button toolbar
Combine sets of button groups into button toolbars for more complex components. Use utility classes as needed to space out groups, buttons, and more.
{{< example >}}
Feel free to mix input groups with button groups in your toolbars. Similar to the example above, you'll likely need some utilities though to space things properly.

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.

Nesting
Place a .btn-group within another .btn-group when you want dropdown menus mixed with a series of buttons.
{{< example >}}
Vertical variation
Make a set of buttons appear vertically stacked rather than horizontally. Split button dropdowns are not supported here.
