title: How to make bootstrap buttons in the navbar span the entire navbar
body: <p>I am using bootstrap to make my navbar right now and the only things I want in my navbar are 3 <em>buttons</em> that when clicked link to other pages. As of right now I have it looking like this:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/31s1f.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://i.stack.imgur.com/31s1f.jpg</a></p>
  
  <p>As you can see those buttons are all just the size of the text that's in them.
  The code is pretty simple for them right now too:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark"&gt;
    &lt;div class="container-fluid"&gt;
  
      &lt;!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling --&gt;
        &lt;ul class="nav navbar-left"&gt;
          &lt;button class="btn btn-default" id="settings" name="settings"&gt;SETTINGS&lt;/button&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
  
        &lt;ul class="text-center"&gt;
          &lt;button class="btn btn-default" id="create" name="create"&gt;CREATE A NEW POST&lt;/button&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
  
        &lt;ul class="nav navbar-right"&gt;
          &lt;button class="btn btn-default" id="myprofile" name="myprofile"&gt;MY PROFILE&lt;/button&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
  
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/nav&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I make the buttons take up the entire navbar? or is there a better way I should be going about this?</p>
