Nunjucks macro options
      <p>
      Use options to customise the appearance, content and behaviour of a component when using a macro, for example, changing the text.
      </p>
      <p>
      Some options are required for the macro to work; these are marked as "Required" in the option description.
      </p>
      <p>
      If you're using Nunjucks macros in production with "html" options, or ones ending with "html", you must sanitise the HTML to protect against  <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Cross-site_scripting">cross-site scripting exploits</a>.
