# 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, hints, notes or warnings. ## Installation Add the following lines to your `mkdocs.yml`: ``` yaml 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](#types) of the block. The content of the block then follows on the next line, indented by four spaces. Example: ``` markdown !!! hint 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: !!! hint 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. However, it can easily be changed by adding a quoted string after the type qualifier. Example: ``` markdown !!! hint "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: !!! hint "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](#changing-the-title), the icon and title can be omitted by providing an empty string after the type qualifier: Example: ``` markdown !!! hint "" 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: !!! hint "" 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. Example: !!! hint 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. ``` mysql 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. ## Types Admonition supports user-defined type qualifiers which may influence the style of the inserted block. Following is a list of type qualifiers supported by the Material theme, whereas the default type, and thus fallback for unknown type qualifiers, is [hint](#hint). ### Hint Example: ``` markdown !!! hint Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
