Components

Inset text

Use the inset text component to differentiate a block of text from the content that surrounds it.

Open this inset text example in a new tab
You’ll get confirmation that we have received your report within 5 working days.
HTML 
<div class="govuk-inset-text">
  You’ll get confirmation that we have received your report within 5 working
  days.
</div>
Nunjucks
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.

Primary options
Name Type Description
text string Required.

If html is set, this is not required. Text to use within the inset text component. If html is provided, the text option will be ignored.
html string Required.

If text is set, this is not required. HTML to use within the inset text component. If html is provided, the text option will be ignored.
caller nunjucks-block

Not strictly a parameter but Nunjucks code convention. Using a call block enables you to call a macro with all the text inside the tag. This is helpful if you want to pass a lot of content into a macro. To use it, you will need to wrap the entire inset text component in a call block.
id string

ID attribute to add to the inset text container.
classes string

Classes to add to the inset text container.
attributes object

HTML attributes (for example data attributes) to add to the inset text container.

 
{% from "moduk/components/inset-text/macro.njk" import modukInsetText -%}

{{ modukInsetText({
  text: "You’ll get confirmation that we have received your report within 5 working days."
}) -}}
