Callouts

Typed callout blocks for tips, warnings, and notes.

A callout is a blockquote with a type marker on the first line. It renders with an icon and its own colour.

> [!TIP]
> Type `/callout` to insert one without remembering the syntax.

A note showing all nine callout types rendered with their icons and colours.

The nine types

Type	For
`[!NOTE]`	Information, facts
`[!TIP]`	Hints and tips
`[!SUCCESS]`	Positive outcomes
`[!WARNING]`	Cautions
`[!DANGER]`	Serious risks
`[!EXAMPLE]`	Worked examples
`[!QUOTE]`	Quotations
`[!ABSTRACT]`	Summaries
`[!QUESTION]`	Open questions

Inserting one

/callout opens the type picker rather than making you memorise the list.

The callout type picker listing the available callout types with their icons.

Multi-line and nested

Every line needs the > prefix, and callouts take ordinary Markdown inside:

> [!WARNING]
> Deleting a workspace does **not** delete its notes.
>
> - The folder stays on disk
> - Only the workspace configuration is removed

Compatibility

This is the same syntax Obsidian and GitHub use, so callouts written here render in both. An editor that doesn’t know the syntax shows an ordinary blockquote with [!TIP] as its first line — degraded, but not broken.
