## Import

```tsx
import { LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
```

## Usage

Display a link prominently using the `<LinkCard>` component.
Each `<LinkCard>` requires a [`title`](#title) and an [`href`](#href) attribute.

```mdx
import { LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';

<LinkCard title="Authoring Markdown" href="/guides/authoring-content/" />
```

```markdoc
{% linkcard title="Authoring Markdown" href="/guides/authoring-content/" /%}
```

:::card{title="Authoring Markdown" href="/guides/guides-authoring-content"}
:::

### Add a link description

Add a short description to a link card using the [`description`](#description) attribute.

```mdx {6}
import { LinkCard } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';

<LinkCard
	title="Internationalization"
	href="/guides/i18n/"
	description="Configure Starlight to support multiple languages."
/>
```

```markdoc {4}
{% linkcard
   title="Internationalization"
	 href="/guides/i18n/"
	 description="Configure Starlight to support multiple languages." /%}
```

:::card{title="Internationalization" href="/guides/guides-i18n"}
Configure Starlight to support multiple languages.
:::

### Group link cards
