Callouts and Admonitions
Our theme supports Obsidian-style callouts with proper icons and styling. Each callout type has its own color scheme and matching Lucide icon.
Basic Callouts
This is a note callout. Use it for general information that readers should be aware of.
This is a tip callout. Perfect for helpful suggestions and best practices.
This is an important callout. Use it to highlight critical information.
This is a warning callout. Use it to alert readers about potential issues.
This is a caution callout. Use it for dangerous or risky situations.
Custom Titles
You can customize the title of any callout by adding text after the callout type.
Custom titles help you provide more context for your callouts.
Extended Callout Types
Info callouts provide additional context or details.
Success callouts highlight positive outcomes or achievements.
Question callouts can be used to pose questions or highlight areas of uncertainty.
Example callouts are perfect for showcasing code examples or demonstrations.
Quote callouts can be used to highlight important quotes or references.
Images
Multiple Image Layouts
Our theme automatically arranges consecutive images in responsive grid layouts based on the number of images. Images can be placed together without empty lines between them to create these layouts.
Two Images Side by Side
Three Images in a Row
Four Images in a Row
How to Use
Simply place multiple images together without empty lines between them:



On mobile devices, all layouts switch to a single column for better readability.
Videos
Here’s an example of a responsive embedded video:
<div style="width: 100%; min-width: 400px; max-width: 800px;">
<div style="position: relative; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 56.25%;">
<p><iframe style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZhizarvwLnU" title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="315" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"></iframe></p>
</div>
</div>
Buttons
These buttons use your existing color palette and adapt perfectly to light/dark themes. Wrap them in internal or external links if you prefer:
<div class="btn-group-center my-8">
<a href="https://google.com" class="no-styling no-underline" target="_blank"><button class="btn btn-primary">Primary Action</button></a>
<a href="https://google.com" class="no-styling no-underline" target="_blank"><button class="btn btn-secondary">Secondary</button></a>
<a href="https://google.com" class="no-styling no-underline" target="_blank"><button class="btn btn-outline">Outlined</button></a>
