## How To Use

### Content

- Badge can take any text but it's a good idea to keep it short

```html_example
<ul class="inline-list">
    <li><span class="badge">journal article</span></li>
    <li><span class="badge">book chapter</span></li>
    <li><span class="badge">pamphlet</span></li>
    <li><span class="badge">research report</span></li>
</ul>

```

<br />

### Coloring

- Badge can be colored with any of the colors in the [$bonsai-palette](colors.html)

```html_example
<ul class="inline-list">
    <li><span class="badge badge-border dark-green-color">free</span></li>
    <li><span class="badge badge-border dark-green-color">open access</span></li>
    <li><span class="badge badge-border hover-color">new</span></li>
    <li><span class="badge badge-border dark-gray-color">multimedia</span></li>
    <li><span class="badge badge-border dark-gray-color">supplements</span></li>
</ul>
```
