← Overview

Obsidian callouts become a highlighted box; a plain block quote becomes a quotation.

How you write it in Obsidian

> [!note] Important note
> First line of the callout.
> Second line with a citation [@meier2020].

> A longer, verbatim quotation
> spanning several lines. [@meier2020, p.~20]

• A callout is a block where every line starts with > and the first line carries a [!type] head.
• A block that starts with > but has no [!type] head is a plain block quote.

What Obsitex generates

A callout becomes a shaded box; a block quote becomes a quote environment. Citations inside both resolve normally.

\begin{shaded}
\textbf{Important note}

First line of the callout.\\
Second line with a citation \cite{meier2020}.
\end{shaded}

\begin{quote}
A longer, verbatim quotation\\
spanning several lines. \cite[p.~20]{meier2020}
\end{quote}

Tips & pitfalls

• Every callout type (note / warning / tip / …) produces the same box. The type name is not shown — only the optional title (in bold). An empty title means no title line.
• The fold markers [!type]- / [!type]+ are ignored.
• Callouts need the framed package and a shadecolor definition in the preamble — the standard templates already include them.
• Inside both, the usual inline formatting, links and citations work.
