• Warning – Alerts that help you avoid big mistakes
• Caution – Points out potential risks or negative outcomes

Callouts in Markdown

Callouts aren’t part of standard Markdown, but they’ve been widely used as a Markdown extension in the wild. A callout starts with a quote block >, followed by square brackets containing an exclamation mark and the callout type, for example, [!NOTE], [!TIP], or [!WARNING]. The following line in the same quote block contains the callout content. For example:

> [!TIP] 
> This is callout content
