 				<li>The <span class="label label-info">zebra widget button</span> below was added to show that when bootstrap's "table-striped" class is applied, the css defined zebra striping will not apply correctly because table rows are hidden but still accounted for by the css <code>nth-child()</code> selector.</li>
