# Admonitions

This plugin adds directives that allow users to outline certain
sections of text using a custom style sheet and bright icons.

5 directives are available:

* [[ikiwiki/directive/tip]]
* [[ikiwiki/directive/note]]
* [[ikiwiki/directive/important]]
* [[ikiwiki/directive/caution]]
* [[ikiwiki/directive/warning]]

Or, in Ikiwiki markup:

    \[[!tip "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit."]]
    \[[!note "Vivamus id enim."]]
    \[[!important "In id erat non orci commodo lobortis."]]
    \[[!caution "In id erat non orci commodo lobortis."]]
    \[[!warning "Phasellus neque orci, porta a, aliquet quis, semper a, massa."]]

Those directives simply create a `<div>` elements in the right
style. So the above can also be simply written as:

    <div class="tip">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.</div>
    <div class="note">Vivamus id enim.</div>
    <div class="important">In id erat non orci commodo lobortis.</div>
    <div class="caution">In id erat non orci commodo lobortis.</div>
    <div class="warning">Phasellus neque orci, porta a, aliquet quis, semper a, massa.</div>

# Rationale

The idea behind the directives is to make the the CSS elements easier
to discover through the builtin documentation. Obviously, more
admonitions can be created simply by adding similar icons and CSS
elements. Of course, you will not get the above directives expanded
automatically unless you patch the admonition plugin, unfortunately.

# Code

[[!template id=gitbranch branch=anarcat/admonitions author="[[anarcat]]"]]

The [[!taglink patch]] is available from
[anarcat's "admonition" branch][] and is designed to be merged in
Ikiwiki directly:

    git clone -b admonitions git://src.anarc.at/ikiwiki.git

[anarcat's "admonition" branch]: http://src.anarc.at/ikiwiki.git/shortlog/refs/heads/admonitions

See also [[todo/admonitions]] for the discussion leading to the
creation of this plugin.
