# Alert

Alert components help to highlight important messages for the reader.

To create an alert, just surround a block of text or any markdown content with !!!.

!!!
This is an alert.

# Title

Alerts can also have titles. Add a space, then add your title, such as !!! My title.

!!! My title
This is an alert.
!!!

Some basic Markdown syntax and emoji :shortcodes: are supported in the titles.
