</div>Nunjucks macro options
Use options to customise the appearance, content and behaviour of a component when using a macro, for example, changing the text.
Some options are required for the macro to work; these are marked as "Required" in the option description.
If you're using Nunjucks macros in production with "html" options, or ones ending with "html", you must sanitise the HTML to protect against cross-site scripting exploits.

| modifier | string or false (boolean) | Default values are 'success', 'danger', 'warning', 'hidden', 'code', 'notice', false (boolean) or null. |
| title | string or false (boolean) | The alert component title. Note; The title will be blank if the modifer is 'warning', 'code' or 'notice'. Default values are false (boolean) or null. |
