# ProseCallout

> Highlight important information with eye-catching colored boxes and icons.

## Usage

Use markdown in the default slot of the `callout` component to add eye-catching context to your content.

```mdc
::callout
This is a `callout` with full **markdown** support.
::
```

### Icon

Use the `icon` prop to display an icon next to the content.

```mdc
::callout{icon="i-lucide-square-play"}
This is a `callout` with an icon.
::
```

### Color

Use the `color` prop to change the color of the callout.

```mdc
::callout{icon="i-lucide-info" color="info"}
This is a `callout` with a custom color.
::
```

### Link

You can pass any property from the [`<NuxtLink>`](https://nuxt.com/docs/api/components/nuxt-link) component such as `to` and `target` to make the callout a link.

```mdc
::callout{icon="i-lucide-square-play" to="/docs/getting-started/installation/nuxt" color="neutral"}
Learn how to install `@nuxt/ui` in your project.
::
```

## Shortcuts

You can also use the `note`, `tip`, `warning` and `caution` shortcuts with pre-defined icons and colors.
