## Toggle buttons
-### Checkbox toggle buttons
+Create button-like checkboxes and radio buttons by using `.btn` styles rather than `.form-check-label` on the `<label>` elements. These toggle buttons can further be grouped in a [button group]({{< docsref "/components/button-group" >}}) if needed.
-Bootstrap's `.btn` styles can be applied to `<label>`s, to provide checkbox style button toggling. Add an input with a `.btn-check` class as previous sibling to toggle the input state.
+### Checkbox toggle buttons

<input type="checkbox" class="btn-check" id="btn-check" autocomplete="off">
