`<objectives>`

A section listing learning objectives

<objectives> is a Sectional component that renders a block of learning objectives — the intended outcomes of a section, lesson, or activity. It behaves like <section> (with auto-generated or custom title and sectional counter), but is rendered as a boxed block by default to help it stand out.

Examples

Example: `<objectives>` with default title

When <objectives> has no <title>, an auto-generated title (e.g. Objectives 1) is rendered. The block is boxed by default.

Example: `<objectives>` with custom title

A custom <objectives> title is provided by nesting a <title> component.

Attribute Examples

Attribute Example: boxed

Unlike most other sectional components, <objectives> has boxed set to true by default. Set boxed="false" to render it as a plain section without a border or shaded banner.

Attribute Example: hide

The hide attribute takes a boolean as input and can be used with any rendered component.
