Using Buttons
Buttons are components that start actions or change states.
Buttons are shown as rounded rectangles and designed to contain text of variable length.
Buttons have a constant height and a minimum, standard width, from which it can be lengthened
to accommodate the contained text. The text in a button is displayed using the Normal Bold
font.
Buttons are placed three pixels below the current baseline and surrounded by 5 pixels of white
space to the left and right.
A button may be located anywhere in the text flow of the browser area.
