skeptrune 9200586a3a Boost search ranking for single-word title pages (#5670)
* docs: boost search ranking for single-word title pages

Apply `boost: 3` to English pages whose H1 / frontmatter title is a single word (e.g. "Assistant", "Quickstart", "Cards"). Short titles tend to be canonical landing pages for a topic, so users searching the exact term should land on them first.

* docs: drop boost on websocket-playground stub to keep canonical Playground ranking

`api-playground/websocket-playground.mdx` is an auto-generated AsyncAPI stub with no body content but shares the title "Playground" with `api-playground/overview.mdx`. Boosting both equally diluted the canonical overview page in search for the query "playground". Drop the boost on the stub.

import IconsOptional from "/snippets/icons-optional.mdx";
Use cards to create visual containers for content. Cards are flexible containers that can include text, icons, images, and links.
## Basic card
<Card title="Card title" icon="text-align-start" href="/components/columns">
This is how you use a card with an icon and a link. Clicking on this card
brings you to the Columns page.
</Card>
```mdx Card example
<Card title="Card title" icon="text-align-start" href="/components/columns">
This is how you use a card with an icon and a link. Clicking on this card
brings you to the Columns page.
</Card>
```
## Card variations
Cards support several layout and styling options to fit different content needs.
### Horizontal layout
Add the `horizontal` property to display cards in a more compact, horizontal layout.
<Card title="Horizontal card" icon="text-align-start" horizontal>
This is an example of a horizontal card.
</Card>
```mdx Horizontal card example
<Card title="Horizontal card" icon="text-align-start" horizontal>
This is an example of a horizontal card.
</Card>
```
### Image cards
Add an `img` property to display an image at the top of the card.
<Card title="Image card" img="https://mintlify-assets.b-cdn.net/yosemite.jpg">
This is an example of a card with an image.
</Card>
```mdx Image card example
<Card title="Image card" img="/images/card-with-image.png">
This is an example of a card with an image.
</Card>
```
### Link cards with custom CTAs
You can customize the call-to-action text and control whether an arrow appears. By default, arrows only show for external links.
<Card title="Link card" icon="link" href="/components/columns" arrow="true" cta="Click here">
This is an example of a card with an icon and a link. Clicking on this card brings you to the Columns page.
</Card>
```mdx Link card example
<Card
title="Link card"
icon="link"
href="/components/columns"
arrow="true"
cta="Click here"
>
This is an example of a card with an icon and a link. Clicking on this card brings you to the Columns page.
</Card>
```
### Typed cards
Add a `type` property to style a card with the same theme as a [callout](/components/callouts). Typed cards apply a colored background, border, and default icon that match the selected type, so you can use them to draw attention to grouped content like notes, warnings, or success states.
Supported types: `info`, `warning`, `note`, `tip`, `check`, and `danger`. Optionally, override the default icon with the `icon` property.
<Columns cols={2}>
<Card title="Note card" type="note">
Use `note` to highlight supporting information.
</Card>
<Card title="Warning card" type="warning">
Use `warning` to flag potential issues.
</Card>
<Card title="Tip card" type="tip">
Use `tip` to share helpful suggestions.
</Card>
<Card title="Danger card" type="danger">
Use `danger` for destructive or risky actions.
</Card>
</Columns>
```mdx Typed card example
<Card title="Note card" type="note">
Use `note` to highlight supporting information.
</Card>
<Card title="Warning card" type="warning">
Use `warning` to flag potential issues.
</Card>
```
## Group cards
Use the [Columns component](/components/columns) to organize multiple cards side by side. The Columns component supports one to four columns and automatically adjusts for smaller screens.
<Columns cols={2}>
<Card title="First card" icon="panel-left-close">
This is the first card.
</Card>
<Card title="Second card" icon="panel-right-close">
This is the second card.
</Card>
</Columns>
```mdx Columns example
<Columns cols={2}>
<Card title="First card" icon="panel-left-close">
This is the first card.
</Card>
<Card title="Second card" icon="panel-right-close">
This is the second card.
</Card>
</Columns>
```
