Split Dropdown Buttons

Bootstrap split button dropdowns with virtually the same markup as single button dropdowns, but with the addition of .dropdown-toggle-split for proper spacing around the dropdown caret.

We use this extra class to reduce the horizontal padding on either side of the caret by 25% and remove the margin-left that’s added for regular button dropdowns. 

<div class="btn-group">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle dropdown-toggle-split" data-toggle="dropdown">
    <span class="caret"></span>
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu">
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">HTML5</a>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">CSS3</a>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Bootstrap</a>
  </div>
</div>
