Callouts
A callout is a quote whose first line has a type in square brackets. That gives it a colour and a symbol, so it stands out without you having to design anything yourself.
How to write a callout
> [!tip] A crisp crust > Put a bowl of water in the oven too.
Put a bowl of water in the oven too.
If you don't give it a title, the type is shown as the title. Every line of the callout starts with >, including every empty one.
The right colour for every purpose
> [!note] > The simplest type. > [!warning] Careful, hot > Only touch the pot with gloves. > [!question] Why won't the dough rise? > Too cold, too young or too little time.
The simplest type.

| Type | What for |
|---|---|
note | a note in the margin, blue |
tip | a tip, turquoise |
info, abstract, todo | information, summary, still to do |
warning, danger, bug | careful, danger, a fault |
success, failure | it worked, it failed |
question, example, quote | question, example, quote |
A type nexlore doesn't know looks like note. It stays in the file all the same, so other programs keep showing it the way you styled it there.
Folding long callouts away
With a minus after the type, the callout is folded when you read the note, and with a plus it's open but can be folded. A click on the title opens and closes it.
