## Block quotes

As the name suggests, block quotes can be useful to cite one or more paragraphs.

To create a block quote, press from the Formatting toolbar. It's also possible to type `>`, followed by a space to create one (but only if the cursor is at the beginning of a line).

Inside the quote block, other block items can be inserted such as tables, images, or even other block quotes or admonitions.

## Admonitions

Admonitions are a way to highlight information to the reader. Other names for it include call-outs and info/warning/alert boxes.

From a functional point of view, admonitions act very similarly to a block quote, just with different styling. This includes the ability to insert other elements in it such as headings, tables, images, etc.

### Inserting a new admonition

In the Formatting toolbar:

It's possible to insert an admonition simply by typing:

- `!!! note`
- `!!! tip`
- `!!! important`
- `!!! caution`
- `!!! warning`

In addition to that, it's also possible to type `!!!` followed by any text, case in which a default admonition type will appear (note) with the entered text inside it.

### Interaction

By design, admonitions act very similar to block quotes.

- Selecting a text and pressing the admonition button will turn that text into an admonition.
- If selecting multiple admonitions, pressing the admonition button will automatically merge them into one.

Inside an admonition:

- Pressing `Backspace` while the admonition is empty will remove it.
- Pressing `Enter` will start a new paragraph. Pressing it twice will exit out of the admonition.
- Headings and other block content including tables can be inserted inside the admonition.

### Types of admonitions

There are currently five types of admonitions: Note, Tip, Important, Caution, Warning.

These types were inspired by GitHub's support for this feature and there are currently no plans for adjusting it or allowing the user to customize them.
