    • Answer/Official from Callouts — Obsidian Help
    • Short answer: Yes — Obsidian calls them callouts. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+P / Ctrl+P) and run Insert callout. That inserts a default [!note] callout (or wraps selected text). They are the colored Info / Warning / Danger-style boxes; older docs and plugins sometimes call the same idea admonitions.
    • Syntax: a blockquote whose first line is > [!type]:
      • markdown

        > [!warning] Title here
        > Body text…

    • Built-in types (each has its own color/icon; aliases in parentheses): note, abstract (summary, tldr), info, todo, tip (hint, important), success (check, done), question (help, faq), warning (caution, attention), failure (fail, missing), danger (error), bug, example, quote (cite).
    • Extras: add + or - after the type for foldable callouts; in Live Preview, right-click the callout title to change type; CSS snippets/plugins can define custom types.
