Notes

• If both type and variant are provided, a nonempty type takes precedence.
• If both content and 1 are provided, content takes precedence.
• Unknown banner types use the informational appearance.
• Omitting icon, or setting it to an empty value, uses the default icon for the selected type.
• Setting icon=none hides the icon.
• Icons are decorative and hidden from screen readers. Important information should be conveyed in the banner text.
