Action Buttons
Buttons are user interface (UI) elements tied to actions and are more than just big links. Buttons are meant to give your users clues about what will happen when they are clicked. You can insert a button in your content by using <button>
in the HTML, or through the CSS Class dropdown in the Rich Text Editor.
Primary Buttons
These buttons are primary calls to action and should be used sparingly. They use the class .primary
. Their size can also be adjusted with the .tiny
,
.small
, and .large
classes. In all examples below, href="#"
should be replaced by the target URL in actual use.
Styles and Usage
<button href="#" class="large primary button">Large button</button>
<button href="#" class="primary button">Regular button</button>
<button href="#" class="small primary button">Small button</button>
<button href="#" class="tiny primary button">Tiny button</button>
Secondary Buttons
These buttons are used for less important, secondary actions on a page. They use the classes .secondary
, .warning
, .alert
, and .success
.
