<info><![CDATA[

[Buttons' ability to have new instances constructed](new.html) arbitrarily gives it the ability to have multiple button instances created for a single DataTable. This can be useful if you wish to display button groups with different functionality (file export, editing, etc).

In this example the `b-init buttons` option is used to construct the first buttons set. The `new $.fn.dataTable.Buttons()` constructor is then used to create a second and finally the API used to insert this into the document.
