#### Markup

    <div class="govuk-panel govuk-panel--confirmation">
      <h2 class="govuk-panel__title">

      <div class="govuk-panel__body">
        Your reference number: HDJ2123F
      </div>

    </div>

#### Macro

    {{ govukPanel({

    }) }}

## Requirements

### Build tool configuration

When compiling the Sass files you'll need to define includePaths to reference the node_modules directory. Below is a sample configuration using gulp

    .pipe(sass({
      includePaths: 'node_modules/'
    }))

### Static asset path configuration

In order to include the images used in the components, you need to configure your app to show these assets. Below is a sample configuration using Express js:

    app.use('/assets', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/node_modules/govuk-frontend/assets')))

## Component arguments

If you are using Nunjucks,then macros take the following arguments

**If you’re using Nunjucks macros in production be aware that using `html` arguments, or ones ending with `Html` can be a [security risk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting). More about it in the [Nunjucks documentation](https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/api.html#user-defined-templates-warning).**

### Setting up Nunjucks views and paths

Below is an example setup using express configure views:

    nunjucks.configure('node_modules/govuk-frontend/components', {
      autoescape: true,
      cache: false,
      express: app
    })
