mkdocs-callouts

A simple plugin that converts Obsidian style callouts and converts them into mkdocs supported 'admonitions' (a.k.a. callouts).

Setup

Install the plugin using pip:

pip install mkdocs-callouts

Activate the plugin in mkdocs.yml, note that the markdown_extensions nl2br, admonition and pymdownx.details are required for this plugin to render correctly:

markdown_extensions:
  - nl2br
  - admonition
  - pymdownx.details

plugins:
  - search
  - callouts

Note: If you have no plugins entry in your config file yet, you'll likely also want to add the search plugin. MkDocs enables it by default if there is no plugins entry set, but now you have to enable it explicitly.

Usage

mkdocs-callouts converts the following:

> [!INFO] Title
> An information callout from Obsidian
> inspired by the syntax from the Microsoft Docs

and turns it into:

!!! info "Title"
    An admonition block for MkDocs.
    Allowing you to edit your notes
    with confidence using Obsidian.

Foldable blocks are also supported. (> [!INFO]- Foldable closed by default, > [!INFO]+ Foldable open by default)
