Callouts

Updated June 11, 2026

How to add callout blocks (note, warning, tip, and similar) to highlight passages in your notes, and how they appear when rendered.

A callout is a highlighted block: a colored, titled box for a note, a warning, a tip. Myne builds callouts on top of block quotes, so they stay plain markdown.

A note showing rendered callouts: note, tip, warning, and danger.

Writing a callout

Start a block quote whose first line is [!type]:

> [!warning]
> Don't forget to back up before changing your password.

That renders as a warning-styled box with an icon and a “Warning” title. To set your own title, put it after the type:

> [!tip] Keep it simple
> One placeholder per line reads best.

The /callout command inserts a callout for you.

The callout types

Each type maps to one of five color families. These are the recognized types:

  • Accent: note, example, quote, cite
  • Info: info, todo
  • Success: tip, hint, important, success, check, done
  • Warning: question, faq, warning, caution, attention
  • Danger: failure, fail, missing, danger, error, bug

Types are case-insensitive, so [!Warning] and [!warning] are the same. A [!type] Myne doesn’t recognize is left as an ordinary block quote; it isn’t turned into a callout.

Limits

You can write the foldable [!type]+ / [!type]- markers and Myne keeps them, but callouts render expanded; there is no clickable fold toggle in this version. Callouts are standard block quotes underneath, so they remain readable markdown in any other editor.
