Callouts

Markdown does not include support for callouts. However, you can style text as a callout using a Markdown extension supported by kramdown: block IALs.

Common kinds of callouts include admonition, attention, caution, danger, error, hint, important, note, tip, and warning.

When you have configured the color and (optional) title for a callout, you can apply it to a paragraph, or to a block quote with several paragraphs, as illustrated below.¹

An untitled callout

{: .highlight }
A paragraph

A single paragraph callout

{: .note }
A paragraph

{: .note-title }
> My note title
>
> A paragraph with a custom title callout

A multi-paragraph callout

{: .important }
> A paragraph
>
> Another paragraph
>
> The last paragraph

{: .important-title }
> My important title
>
> A paragraph

>
> The last paragraph

An indented callout

> {: .hint }
