Build a notice

Use the notice component to deliver important context-specific messages to people. The notice communicates varying levels of urgency and meaning using content and visual cues.

Accessibility and code guidance

Define the type of notice

Use the type attribute to categorize the notice as info, warning, danger or success. This choice determines the visual styling of the notice and communicates the urgency or importance of the message to people.

Specify the notice title and heading level

• Use the notice-title attribute to create a clear and informative heading for the notice. Ensure the title conveys the message’s purpose.
• Set the notice-title-tag to define the correct heading level for the notice title. While the font size remains the same regardless of the tag, setting the correct heading level maintains proper hierarchy and accessibility for assistive technologies.
