Callouts allow the user to create stylized boxes for featured content. These boxes give users a visual cue that the information is important and offset the featured content from the rest of the page. Callouts are more customizable than buttons and include title, size and color options as well the ability to hyperlink. Potential uses include important announcements, editorial comment or emergency information. Callouts are styled to comply with the NC State color palette and to meet color contrast accessibility guidelines.

1. Make sure you have installed the NC State Shortcodes and Shortcake (Shortcode UI) plugins on your site.
2. Follow the steps to add a shortcode to your page. Select Callout from the options panel.
