**Bootstrap Reference Documentation**
This is a part of the reference documentation from Bootstrap.
It is included here to demonstrate rendering with Material Design for Bootstrap default styling.
See the Material Design section for more elements and customization options.

Easily extend form controls by adding text, buttons, or button groups on either side of textual ``s.
## Contents
* Will be replaced with the ToC, excluding the "Contents" header
{:toc}
## Basic example
Place one add-on or button on either side of an input. You may also place one on both sides of an input. **We do not support multiple add-ons on a single side, nor multiple form-controls in a single input group.**
