Admonitions

Admonitions, also known as call-outs, are an excellent choice for including side content without significantly interrupting the document flow. Material for MkDocs provides several different types of admonitions and allows for the inclusion and nesting of arbitrary content.

Configuration

Admonition

:octicons-file-code-24: Source · :octicons-workflow-24: Extension

The Admonition extension, which is part of the standard Markdown library, is integrated with Material for MkDocs and can be enabled via mkdocs.yml:

markdown_extensions:
  - admonition

Details

:octicons-file-code-24: Source · :octicons-workflow-24: Extension

The Details extension, which is part of Python Markdown Extensions, adds the ability to make admonitions collapsible. It can be enabled via mkdocs.yml:

markdown_extensions:
  - pymdownx.details

SuperFences

The SuperFences extension, which is also part of Python Markdown Extensions, allows for the nesting of code and content blocks inside admonitions, and is therefore strongly recommended:

markdown_extensions:
  - pymdownx.superfences

Usage

Admonitions follow a simple syntax: a block must start 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 title will equal the type qualifier in titlecase. However, it can be changed by adding a quoted string containing valid Markdown (including links, formatting, ...) 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:

!!! 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.

Removing the title

Similar to changing the title, the icon and title can be omitted entirely by adding an empty string directly after the type qualifier. Note that this will not work for collapsible 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.

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.

Embedded content

Admonitions can contain all kinds of text content, including headlines, lists, paragraphs and other blocks. While the parser from the standard Markdown library doesn't account for nested blocks, the SuperFences extension adds the ability to nest arbitrary content inside admonitions.

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.

    ``` python
    def bubble_sort(items):
        for i in range(len(items)):
            for j in range(len(items) - 1 - i):
                if items[j] > items[j + 1]:
                    items[j], items[j + 1] = items[j + 1], items[j]
    ```

    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.

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.

``` python
def bubble_sort(items):
    for i in range(len(items)):
        for j in range(len(items) - 1 - i):
            if items[j] > items[j + 1]:
                items[j], items[j + 1] = items[j + 1], items[j]
```

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 adds support for rendering collapsible admonition blocks. This is useful for FAQs or content that is of secondary nature. A details block follows the syntax and semantics of admonition blocks, but must start with ???.

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.

Adding a + after ??? will render the block as open on page load:

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.

Inline blocks

:octicons-file-code-24: Source · :octicons-beaker-24: Experimental

Admonitions and Details can also be rendered as inline blocks (i.e. sidebars), placing them to the right using the inline + end modifiers, or to the left using only the inline modifier.

Important: Admonitions that use the inline modifiers must be declared prior to the content block you want to place them beside. If there's insufficient space to render the admonition next to the block, the admonition will stretch to the full width of the viewport, e.g. on mobile viewports.

=== "inline end"

_Example_ / _Result_:

!!! info inline end

    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.

``` markdown
!!! info inline end
    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.
```

Use `inline end` to align to the right (left for rtl languages).

=== "inline"

_Example_ / _Result_:

!!! info inline

    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.

``` markdown
!!! info inline
    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.
```

Use `inline` to align to the left (right for rtl languages).

Supported types

Following is a list of type qualifiers provided by Material for MkDocs, whereas the default type, and thus fallback for unknown type qualifiers, is note:

Changing the icons

:octicons-file-code-24: Source · :octicons-heart-fill-24:{ .mdx-heart } Insiders only{ .mdx-insiders }

Each of the supported admonition types has a distinct icon, which can be changed to any icon bundled with the theme. Just set the name of the admonition type to a valid icon in mkdocs.yml:

=== "Octicons"

_Example_:

``` yaml
theme:
  icon:
    admonition:
      note: octicons/tag-16
      abstract: octicons/checklist-16
      info: octicons/info-16
      tip: octicons/squirrel-16
      success: octicons/check-16
      question: octicons/question-16
      warning: octicons/alert-16
      failure: octicons/x-circle-16
      danger: octicons/zap-16
      bug: octicons/bug-16
      example: octicons/beaker-16
      quote: octicons/quote-16
```

_Result_:

[![Admonition with Octicons icons][14]][14]

=== "FontAwesome"

_Example_:

``` yaml
theme:
  icon:
    admonition:
      note: fontawesome/solid/sticky-note
      abstract: fontawesome/solid/book
      info: fontawesome/solid/info-circle
      tip: fontawesome/solid/bullhorn
      success: fontawesome/solid/check
      question: fontawesome/solid/question-circle
      warning: fontawesome/solid/exclamation-triangle
      failure: fontawesome/solid/bomb
      danger: fontawesome/solid/skull
      bug: fontawesome/solid/robot
      example: fontawesome/solid/flask
      quote: fontawesome/solid/quote-left
```

_Result_:

[![Admonition with FontAwesome icons][15]][15]

Customization

Custom admonitions

If you want to add a custom admonition type, all you need is a color and an svg icon. Copy the icon's svg code from the .icons folder and add the following CSS to an additional stylesheet:

:root {
  --md-admonition-icon--pied-piper: url('data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 576 512"><path d="M244 246c-3.2-2-6.3-2.9-10.1-2.9-6.6 0-12.6 3.2-19.3 3.7l1.7 4.9zm135.9 197.9c-19 0-64.1 9.5-79.9 19.8l6.9 45.1c35.7 6.1 70.1 3.6 106-9.8-4.8-10-23.5-55.1-33-55.1zM340.8 177c6.6 2.8 11.5 9.2 22.7 22.1 2-1.4 7.5-5.2 7.5-8.6 0-4.9-11.8-13.2-13.2-23 11.2-5.7 25.2-6 37.6-8.9 68.1-16.4 116.3-52.9 146.8-116.7C548.3 29.3 554 16.1 554.6 2l-2 2.6c-28.4 50-33 63.2-81.3 100-31.9 24.4-69.2 40.2-106.6 54.6l-6.3-.3v-21.8c-19.6 1.6-19.7-14.6-31.6-23-18.7 20.6-31.6 40.8-58.9 51.1-12.7 4.8-19.6 10-25.9 21.8 34.9-16.4 91.2-13.5 98.8-10zM555.5 0l-.6 1.1-.3.9.6-.6zm-59.2 382.1c-33.9-56.9-75.3-118.4-150-115.5l-.3-6c-1.1-13.5 32.8 3.2 35.1-31l-14.4 7.2c-19.8-45.7-8.6-54.3-65.5-54.3-14.7 0-26.7 1.7-41.4 4.6 2.9 18.6 2.2 36.7-10.9 50.3l19.5 5.5c-1.7 3.2-2.9 6.3-2.9 9.8 0 21 42.8 2.9 42.8 33.6 0 18.4-36.8 60.1-54.9 60.1-8 0-53.7-50-53.4-60.1l.3-4.6 52.3-11.5c13-2.6 12.3-22.7-2.9-22.7-3.7 0-43.1 9.2-49.4 10.6-2-5.2-7.5-14.1-13.8-14.1-3.2 0-6.3 3.2-9.5 4-9.2 2.6-31 2.9-21.5 20.1L15.9 298.5c-5.5 1.1-8.9 6.3-8.9 11.8 0 6 5.5 10.9 11.5 10.9 8 0 131.3-28.4 147.4-32.2 2.6 3.2 4.6 6.3 7.8 8.6 20.1 14.4 59.8 85.9 76.4 85.9 24.1 0 58-22.4 71.3-41.9 3.2-4.3 6.9-7.5 12.4-6.9.6 13.8-31.6 34.2-33 43.7-1.4 10.2-1 35.2-.3 41.1 26.7 8.1 52-3.6 77.9-2.9 4.3-21 10.6-41.9 9.8-63.5l-.3-9.5c-1.4-34.2-10.9-38.5-34.8-58.6-1.1-1.1-2.6-2.6-3.7-4 2.2-1.4 1.1-1 4.6-1.7 88.5 0 56.3 183.6 111.5 229.9 33.1-15 72.5-27.9 103.5-47.2-29-25.6-52.6-45.7-72.7-79.9zm-196.2 46.1v27.2l11.8-3.4-2.9-23.8zm-68.7-150.4l24.1 61.2 21-13.8-31.3-50.9zm84.4 154.9l2 12.4c9-1.5 58.4-6.6 58.4-14.1 0-1.4-.6-3.2-.9-4.6-26.8 0-36.9 3.8-59.5 6.3z"/></svg>')

.md-typeset .admonition.pied-piper,

  -webkit-mask-image: var(--md-admonition-icon--pied-piper);
          mask-image: var(--md-admonition-icon--pied-piper);
}

You should now be able to create an admonition of the pied-piper type. Note that you can also use this technique to override existing admonition icons or colors. You can even add animations.

Example:

!!! pied-piper "Pied Piper"
    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:

!!! pied-piper "Pied Piper"

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.
