### Links

Make a badge work as a link by putting it into an `<a>` element.

<a href="#" class="badge bg-{{ color[0] }}">{{ color[0] }}</a>

{% endexample %}


### Empty badges

If you don't want your badge to contain any text you can do it by leaving the html element empty.

{% example %}
{% for color in site.colors %}
<a href="#" class="badge bg-{{ color[0] }}"></a>
{% endfor %}
{% endexample %}
