Quartz supports the same Admonition-callout syntax as Obsidian.

This includes

- 12 Distinct callout types (each with several aliases)
- Collapsable callouts

```
> [!info] Title
> This is a callout!
```

See [documentation on supported types and syntax here](https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Callouts).

> [!warning]
> Wondering why callouts may not be showing up even if you have them enabled? You may need to reorder your plugins so that `Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown()` is _after_ `Plugin.SyntaxHighlighting()`.

## Customization

- Disable callouts: simply pass `callouts: false` to the plugin: `Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown({ callouts: false })`
- Editing icons: `quartz/styles/callouts.scss`

### Add custom callouts

By default, custom callouts are handled by applying the `note` style. To make fancy ones, you have to add these lines to `custom.scss`.

```scss title="quartz/styles/custom.scss"
.callout {
 &[data-callout="custom"] {
 --color: #customcolor;
 --border: #custombordercolor;
 --bg: #custombg;
 --callout-icon: url('data:image/svg+xml; utf8, <custom formatted svg>'); //SVG icon code
}
```

> [!warning]
> Don't forget to ensure that the SVG is URL encoded before putting it in the CSS. You can use tools like [this one](https://yoksel.github.io/url-encoder/) to help you do that.

## Showcase
