+/// [Button] can be use to create a button with a label and an optional icon.
+///
+/// Common buttons:
+/// - Label, Icon + Label: [Button] (this component)
+/// - Icon only: [IconButton]
+/// - Custom: [ButtonLike]
+///
+/// To create a more complex button than what the [Button] or [IconButton] components provide, use
+/// [ButtonLike] directly.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// A button with a label only:
+///
+/// ```
+/// Button::new("button_id", "Click me!")
+///     .on_click(|event, cx| {
+///         // Handle click event
+///     });
+/// ```
+///
+/// **A toggleable button**, is typically used in scenarios such as a toolbar,
+/// where the button's state indicates whether a feature is enabled or not, or
+/// a trigger for a popover menu, where clicking the button toggles the visibility of the menu.
+///
+/// ```
+/// Button::new("button_id", "Click me!")
+///     .icon(IconName::Check)
+///     .selected(some_bool)
+///     .on_click(|event, cx| {
+///         // Handle click event
+///     });
+/// ```
+///
+/// To change the style of the button when it is selected use the [selected_style][Button::selected_style] method.
+///
+/// ```
+/// Button::new("button_id", "Click me!")
+///     .selected(some_bool)
+///     .selected_style(ButtonStyle::Tinted(TintColor::Accent))
+///     .on_click(|event, cx| {
+///         // Handle click event
+///     });
+/// ```
+/// This will create a button with a blue tinted background when selected.
+///
+/// **A full-width button**, is typically used in scenarios such as the bottom of a modal or form, where it occupies the entire width of its container.
+/// The button's content, including text and icons, is centered by default.
+///
+/// ```
+/// let button = Button::new("button_id", "Click me!")
+///     .full_width()
+///     .on_click(|event, cx| {
+///         // Handle click event
+///     });
