A button which toggles a variable between true (1) and false (0).
A button which toggles a variable between true (1) and false (0). Uses text and may use a script as described for [[Button_(MenuMate)#button|button]].  Optionally, you may modify the format string based on the state of the button.  Include the text '''[STATE]''' in the format string - it will automatically be replaced with text you specify (see below).

The togglebutton takes additional information as attributes of its main element:
*'''targetvar''' - The name of the variable which will be modified by this button.
*'''truetext''' - The text which will replace '''[STATE]''' in the format string if the button's variable is currently 1.  Optional, defaults to "true".
*'''falsetext''' - Text which replaces '''[STATE]''' in the format string if the button's variable is currently 0.  Optional, defaults to "false".

<pre>
<togglebutton targetvar="myDebugVar" truetext="On" falsetext="Off">
  <text format="Show Debug Information: [STATE]"/>
</togglebutton>
</pre>
