## Default markup
Use the `ribbon` class to add the default ribbon to any section of your interface.
{% capture html -%}
{% include "ui/icon.html" icon="star" %}
{%- endcapture %}
{% include "docs/example.html" html=html card column %}
## Ribbon position
You can change the position of a ribbon by adding one of the following classes to the element:
- `ribbon-top` - moves it to the top
- `ribbon-end` - moves it to the right
- `ribbon-bottom` - moves it to the bottom
- `ribbon-start` - moves it to the left
Using multiple classes at once will give you more position options. For example, the following class: `.ribbon.ribbon-top.ribbon-left` will move the ribbon to the top left corner.
{% capture html -%}
{% include "ui/icon.html" icon="star" %}
