Callouts
New (v0.4.0)
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.
You can apply colors to a paragraph or to a block quote with several paragraphs, as illustrated below.1
