+A button has no inherent content so requires child widgets to be added. As a shorthand for a button with a single text label,
+the `text:` option may be used to add a single `label` child, otherwise the `widgets:` key must be used to add other
+widgets inside the button.
+
+A button is momentary by default, which has a `pressed` state. If the `checkable` flag is set, it becomes a toggle button, which also has a `checked` state.
+
 **Configuration variables:**
 
-- **checkable** (*Optional*, boolean): A significant [flag](#lvgl-widget-flags) to make a toggle button (which remains pressed in `checked` state). Defaults to `false`.
+- **checkable** (*Optional*, boolean): A significant [flag](#lvgl-widget-flags) to make a toggle button (which reports its `checked` state). Defaults to `false`.
+- **text** (*Optional*, string): Text to be displayed on the button. This will create and add a single label widget to the button. May not be used
+  with the `widgets:` key.
