This component, based on one from GOV.UK Publishing components, may be useful if you are prototyping guidance pages that could be published on GOV.UK, or if your service needs to show related navigation.

You can use HTML or, if you are using Nunjucks or the GOV.UK Prototype Kit, you can use the Nunjucks macro.

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.
