Button element

GitHub Flavored Markdown does not support the button element, so you’ll have to use inline HTML for this:

<button type="button" name="button" class="btn">Button element</button>

Using utilities with buttons

Button size

Wrap the button in a container that uses the font-size utility classes to scale buttons:

Big ass button

Tiny ass button 

<span class="fs-8">
[Link button](http://example.com/){: .btn }
</span>

<span class="fs-3">
[Tiny ass button](http://example.com/){: .btn }
</span>

Spacing between buttons

Use the margin utility classes to add spacing between two buttons in the same block.
