+
+This date range picker component for Twitter Bootstrap creates a dropdown menu from which a user can
+select a range of dates. If invoked with no options, it will present two calendars to choose a start
+and end date from. Optionally, you can provide a list of date ranges the user can select from instead
+of choosing dates from the calendars. If attached to a text input, the selected dates will be inserted
+into the text box. Otherwise, you can provide a custom callback function to receive the selection.
