The notice shortcode renders styled callouts so readers can spot essential context. Three variants—info, update, and warning—map to common communication needs.

Usage Examples

Info Notice

{{% notice info %}}
Helpful tip or contextual background.
{{% /notice %}}
Info
Use info notices to point readers at background resources or definitions.

Update Notice

{{% notice update %}}
Release notes or change history.
{{% /notice %}}
Update
Update notices are ideal for summarising post-publication edits or version changes.

Warning Notice

{{% notice warning %}}
Critical risk or requirement.
{{% /notice %}}
Warning
Warnings should flag breaking changes, security risks, or compliance steps.

Best Practices

  • Keep notice text concise; callouts lose impact if overused.
  • Pair warnings with mitigations or links to remediation steps.
  • Document the shortcode in your project README so contributors apply consistent formatting.
