# 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

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod
    nulla. Curabitur feugiat, tortor non consequat finibus, justo purus auctor

```

Result:

!!! hint
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla et euismod
