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.

rows	array	Required. The rows within the table component. See rows.
head	array	Can be used to add a row of table header cells (<th>) at the top of the table component. See head.
