# Callout

Callout components help to highlight important messages for the reader.

To create an Callout, just surround a block of text or any markdown content with !!!.

!!!
This is an Callout.
!!!

# Title

Callouts can also have titles. Add a space, then add your title, such as !!! My title.

!!! My title
This is an Callout.
!!!

Some basic Markdown syntax and emoji :shortcodes: are supported in the titles.

> [!TIP]
> Helpful advice for doing things better or more easily.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Key information users need to know to achieve their goal.

> [!WARNING]
> Urgent info that needs immediate user attention to avoid problems.

> [!CAUTION]
> Advises about risks or negative outcomes of certain actions.

Here are the rendered GitHub Alerts:

# Custom title

Retype also supports setting a custom title value on the GitHub Alerts using the following syntax:

> [!NOTE] Custom Title
> Useful information that users should know.

# Theme variables

Retype gives you full control over the look and feel of your callout components through customizable theme variables.

You can override any of theme variable in your retype.yml configuration file using the theme.base and theme.dark settings.

For example, to change the primary callout color for all instances of the primary callout within your project, add the following to your project's retype.yml file:

theme:
  base:
    # Revise the primary variant base color
    # across all components within the project
    # primary: "#209fb5" 

    # Or, adjust callout only theme variables
    callout-primary: "#209fb5"

To learn more about theme variables and how they work across Retype, check out the Themes Guide, the Theme Variables documentation, and theme Project settings.

# Custom attributes

Custom id and CSS class attributes can be applied to a Callout using the {#id .class} syntax.

!!!warning Important {#critical-warning .highlight}
This Callout has a custom id and class.
