<h1>Contextual</h1>
<p>The <strong>contextual</strong> module provides you with simple tags, marks and highlights for your pages, allowing you to easily emphasize parts of your text. The contextual alerts aim to replace the commonly used modal dialog design paradigm with a more modern one. HTML5 elements and simple rules are used in order to make important messages and pieces of content stand out easily.</p>
<p><small>All examples showcased refer to the mini-default flavor, some class names and styles might differ based on the flavor you're using.</small></p>

<h2>Quick overview</h2>
<p>Almost every piece of content present on the web has some sort of content that needs highlighting in one way or another. The <strong>contextual</strong> module provides you with simple semantic text highlighting that utilises the <code>&lt;mark&gt;</code> HTML element. Apart from that, this module contains styles and definitions for a simple <code>.alert</code> container, that you can use to show alerts on your websites and web apps. Alerts replace the traditional design paradigms of modals, messages and alerts by defining a simple, usable container that is also mobile friendly. Finally, a simple accessible <code>.tooltip</code> implementation is included. All components in this module are fully accessible, so that's another thing not to worry about.</p><br>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h2>Quick start</h2>
<p>To use the <strong>contextual</strong> module, simply include the link to the flavor you are using and start writing your HTML page as usual. One suggestion we will make is to add the following line inside your HTML page's <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> to utilize the viewport meta tag:</p><br>
<pre>&lt;<span class="fore-tertiary">meta</span> <span class="fore-secondary">name</span>=<span class="fore-primary">&quot;viewport&quot;</span> <span class="fore-secondary">content</span>=<span class="fore-primary">&quot;width=device-width, initial-scale=1&quot;</span>&gt;</pre><br>

<div class="section row">
<div class="col-sm-12 col-sm-last col-md-4 col-md-normal">
<div>
<p>This is some text with a <mark>highlight</mark>.</p>
<p>Apart from the primary highlight style, there are also <mark class="secondary">secondary</mark> and <mark class="tertiary">tertiary</mark> styles for highlighting.</p><br>
<p><mark class="inline-block">If you want to highlight a longer piece of text, without line breaks, you can turn the highlight into an inline-block like you see this piece of text being displayed.</mark></p><br>
<p>Finally, you can create contextual tags like <mark class="tag">this</mark> or <mark class="tag">7</mark>.</p><br>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12 col-sm-first col-md-8 col-md-normal">
<p>To add simple highlights in your text, you can use the <code>&lt;mark&gt;</code> HTML element. These highlights come pre-styled to use the default primary color, but if you would rather use another color for your highlight you can easily add the <code>.secondary</code> or <code>.tertiary</code> class to a <code>&lt;mark&gt;</code> element. For longer pieces of text that need highlighting, consider adding the <code>.inline-block</code> class to make them stand out even more. Finally, you can create contextual tags, using the <code>.tag</code> class.</p>
<h3>Sample code</h3>
<pre>&lt;mark&gt;primary&lt;/mark&gt;
&lt;mark class=&quot;secondary&quot;&gt;secondary&lt;/mark&gt;
&lt;mark class=&quot;tertiary&quot;&gt;tertiary&lt;/mark&gt;

&lt;mark class=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;tag&lt;/mark&gt;</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Try to use elements with the <code>.inline-block</code> class only when absolutely necessary, as they break the normal text flow of the document. Avoid using this class on shorter pieces of text that span a few words and contain no line breaks.</li>
<li><code>&lt;mark&gt;</code> elements, along with their supporting classes (except for <code>.inline-block</code>) can be easily used in paragraphs, headings and other elements, as they scale according to their parent element.</li>

<p>Alerts replace modal dialogs, along with messages, notifications and traditional alerts with a simpler, easier design paradigm. To create an alert, use a <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> element, which will contain one or more elements (for example a <code>&lt;h3&gt;</code> and a <code>&lt;p&gt;</code>) and add the <code>.alert</code> class to it. For more urgent alerts, use the <code>.urgent</code> class and for critical alerts, use the <code>.critical</code> class.</p>
<h3>Sample code</h3>
<pre>&lt;div class=&quot;alert&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;This is an alert&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make sure you read this!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;alert urgent&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;This is an urgent alert&lt;/h3&gt;

<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Alert elements do not have any pre-defined behavior. You should use your own Javascript code and interactive HTML elements to deal with showing and hiding them as necessary.</li>
<li>If you want to make your alerts more accessible, we suggest you add either the <code><span class="fore-secondary">role</span>=<span class="fore-primary">&quot;<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_alert_role">alert</a>&quot;</span></code> attribute or the <code><span class="fore-secondary">role</span>=<span class="fore-primary">&quot;<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_alertdialog_role">alertdialog</a>&quot;</span></code> attribute, depending on the behavior you are planning to implement for your alerts.</li>

<p>Alerts can be animated, so that they pop out a little more to make sure your users can see them. To animate an alert box, use the <code>.animated</code> class on an existing <code>.alert</code> and it shall periodically scale up a little bit to make users notice it.</p>
<h3>Sample code</h3>
<pre>&lt;div class=&quot;alert animated&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Animated alert&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;alert urgent animated&quot;&gt;

<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Animated alerts may not display properly on older browsers, especially legacy versions of Internet Explorer.</li>
<li>It has been reported that some Webkit-based browsers, such as Chrome, display animated alerts in a very blurry fashion. Despite our best attempts at solving these problems, they seem to be quite persistent and we do not yet know how to fix them. Thus, you might want to hold off on using animated alerts if you think this might be an issue or try to control them using Javascript code to make the animation stop after a short amount of time (i.e. removing the <code>.animated</code> class).</li>

<div class="col-sm-12 col-sm-first col-md-8 col-md-normal">
<p>Tooltips can be used to convey context-sensitive information when the user hovers over some text. To create a tooltip, simply wrap the text you want users to hover over in an element with the <code>.tooltip</code> class (our choice is usually a <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> element, but your needs may differ) and add an <code><span class="fore-secondary">aria-label</span></code> in that element, setting its value to the content of your tooltip. Tooltips display at the top of the hovered text by default, so if you want to show them below the text, add the <code>.bottom</code> class to them.</p>
<h3>Sample code</h3>
<pre>&lt;span class=&quot;tooltip&quot; aria-label=&quot;This is a tooltip&quot;&gt;Hover over this text to see a tooltip!&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;tooltip bottom&quot; aria-label=&quot;This is a tooltip&quot;&gt;Hover over this text to see a reverse tooltip!&lt;/span&gt;</pre>

<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Tooltips are built to be accessible and should display properly on screenreaders.</li>
<li>If you are not satisfied with the default tooltip colors, please check out the <a href="customization.html">customization page</a> for instuctions on how to create your own tooltip variants.</li>
<li>Rembmer to always add the <code><span class="fore-secondary">aria-label</span></code> attribute, otherwise your tooltip will not have any text to show.</li>
