Admonition¶
Admonition is an extension included in the standard Markdown library that makes it possible to add block-styled side content to your documentation, for example summaries, notes, hints or warnings.
Installation¶
Add the following lines to your mkdocs.yml
:
markdown_extensions: - admonition
Usage¶
Admonition blocks follow a simple syntax: every block is started with !!!
,
followed by a single keyword which is used as the type qualifier of the
block. The content of the block then follows on the next line, indented by
four spaces.
Example:
!!! note Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor massa, nec semper lorem quam in massa.
Result:
Note
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor massa, nec semper lorem quam in massa.
Changing the title¶
By default, the block title will equal the type qualifier in titlecase. However, it can easily be changed by adding a quoted string after the type qualifier.
Example:
!!! note "Phasellus posuere in sem ut cursus" Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor massa, nec semper lorem quam in massa.
Result:
Phasellus posuere in sem ut cursus
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor massa, nec semper lorem quam in massa.
Removing the title¶
Similar to setting a custom title, the icon and title can be omitted by providing an empty string after the type qualifier:
Example:
!!! note "" Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor massa, nec semper lorem quam in massa.
Result:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor massa, nec semper lorem quam in massa.
Embedded code blocks¶
Blocks can contain all kinds of text content, including headlines, lists, paragraphs and other blocks – except code blocks, because the parser from the standard Markdown library does not account for those.
However, the PyMdown Extensions package adds an extension called SuperFences, which makes it possible to nest code blocks within other blocks, respectively Admonition blocks.
Example:
Note
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor massa, nec semper lorem quam in massa.
SELECT Employees.EmployeeID, Employees.Name, Employees.Salary, Manager.Name AS Manager FROM Employees LEFT JOIN Employees AS Manager ON Employees.ManagerID = Manager.EmployeeID WHERE Employees.EmployeeID = '087652';
Nunc eu odio eleifend, blandit leo a, volutpat sapien. Phasellus posuere in sem ut cursus. Nullam sit amet tincidunt ipsum, sit amet elementum turpis. Etiam ipsum quam, mattis in purus vitae, lacinia fermentum enim.
Collapsible blocks¶
The Details extension which is also part of the PyMdown Extensions package adds support for rendering collapsible Admonition blocks. This is useful for FAQs or content that is of secondary nature.
Example:
??? note "Phasellus posuere in sem ut cursus" Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor massa, nec semper lorem quam in massa.
Result:
??? note "Phasellus posuere in sem ut cursus"
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor massa, nec semper lorem quam in massa.
By adding a +
sign directly after the start marker, blocks can be rendered
open by default.
Types¶
Admonition supports user-defined type qualifiers which may influence the style
of the inserted block. Following is a list of type qualifiers provided by the
Material theme, whereas the default type, and thus fallback for unknown type
qualifiers, is note
.
