The `notice` shortcode shows various types of disclaimers with adjustable color, title and icon to help you structure your page.

{{% notice style="primary" title="There may be pirates" icon="skull-crossbones" %}}
It is all about the boxes.
{{% /notice %}}

## Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to use positional as well, use it as [GitHub styled alerts](/cont/markdown#alerts) or also call this shortcode from your own partials.

Note that if you want to use GitHub styled alerts Markdown, this is only available starting with Hugo {{% badge color="fuchsia" icon="fa-fw fab fa-hackerrank" title=" " %}}0.132.0{{% /badge %}}. In this case no parameter from the below table are available.

{{< tabs groupid="shortcode-parameter">}}
{{% tab title="markdown" %}}

````md
> [!NOTE]
> It is all about the boxes.
````

{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="shortcode" %}}

````go
{{%/* notice style="primary" title="There may be pirates" icon="skull-crossbones" */%}}
It is all about the boxes.
{{%/* /notice */%}}
````

{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="shortcode (positional)" %}}

````go
{{%/* notice primary "There may be pirates" "skull-crossbones" */%}}
It is all about the boxes.
{{%/* /notice */%}}
````

{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="partial" %}}

  "title" "There may be pirates"
  "icon" "skull-crossbones"
  "content" "It is all about the boxes."

## Configuration

If you are using [GitHub styled alerts](/cont/markdown#alerts), by default the theme also accepts alert levels like `info` not known to GitHub's implementation. If this interferes with your layout, you can turn this extension off by setting `disableBlockquoteNoticeSupport=true` in your `hugo.toml`.

### Global Configuration File

This example reflects the default configuration also used if you don't set anything explicitly.

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[params]
  disableBlockquoteNoticeSupport = false
{{< /multiconfig >}}
