Types

Although any tag can be used for a button, it will only be keyboard focusable if you use a <button> tag or you add the property tabindex="0". Keyboard accessible buttons will preserve focus styles after click, which may be visually jarring.

Focusable

Emphasis

A button can be formatted to show different levels of emphasis

Setting your brand colors to primary and secondary color variables in site.variables will allow you to use your color theming for UI elements

Animated

A button can animate to show hidden content

The button will be automatically sized according to the visible content size. Make sure there is enough room for the hidden content to show
