Navigation panel

The nav-panel shortcode displays a blockquote styled panel which can link to another page and display a variety of options. Visually, it is separate from the rest of the content and can provide prominence to the information contained within.

Here are the options available:

  • Category
  • Panel title/link (required)
  • Content/description
  • Extra information
  • Icon

*Note: If you're converting the old contextualised content panels, the panel title is the old link text and the content is 'Explore these skills in a real world context'. This is the opposite, visually from the old panels.

Category

Panel title

This is the content. The recommended character limit depends on the options used.

Extra information 
[nav-panel title="Panel title" category="Category" extra-info="Extra information" link="/link-here/" icon="https://path.to/icon.svg"]This is the content. The recommended character limit depends on the options used.[/nav-panel]

It's unlikely (and not recommended) that all of these pieces be used at once. Here are some examples demonstrating suggested use.
