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 highlight, important, new, note, and warning.

These callout names are not pre-defined by the theme: you need to define your own names.

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
