Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/474

Originally assigned to: @Komediruzecki on GitHub.

Current behavior

The original Boostnote desktop client would allow containers using

!!! note/attention/etc Note Title
Testing a block
!!!

The current build of Boost Note.next renders the same markdown as -

Expected behavior

The container would render as follows -

Environment

Desktop

  • Boost Note.next version: 0.4.1
  • OS version and name: Windows 10 / latest build

BTW

The Boost Note legacy client is the best markdown editor out there. I'm really excited to start using the .next version. I know there's work still to be done, but hoping most of the markdown features, like the ability to create containers, comes with .next. Awesome job everyone!!

Note that docarys/markdown-it-admonition#6 does not support nested admonitions. Maybe https://github.com/nebrelbug/react-admonitions is a good alternative - it does support nested admonitions, as well.

It uses the following format:

<Admonition type='note' title='Do not do this'>
    Remember that
</Admonition>

I don't know if it can be integrated to be used with markdown so it uses the format

!!! note Do not do this
Remember that
!!!

This type of markdown is one of the reasons I started using Boostnote. Sad to see that this markup, along with others, has now gone. Kind of reminds me of Skype: newer, better, smarter (but all good features gone). Hope for the best to come.

+1 on this. I started using Boostnote because I wanted to take advantage of features like this, so I hope they will return in the new version!

Another +1. I frequently use admonition boxes and definition lists in my notes, hoping they return in the future so I can fully migrate to the new version.

Thank you for your hard work!

I'll close this as this is resolved with #727.
For admonitions, please use new tag syntax: triple colon operator (":::" ) instead of triple exclamation mark ("!!!") with appropriate keyword, one of: 'note', 'tip', 'warning 'caution', 'info'. Examples can be seen in PR description.
