TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Sure, but "toggle" -- like "flip" or "switch" or "invert" -- means
"change from the current state (whatever it is) to the other".
You can "toggle the switch from OFF to ON" or "toggle the switch a few
times"... But if you were trying to be precise, I don't think you'd want
to write "toggle the switch to ON" unless you knew from a previous
instruction that the switch was already OFF.
Also, "toggle" is a significantly less-familiar verb than "set". And
"toggle the toggle switch" is an awkward construction.
