Callout syntax has limited features as it does not provide all of the below parameter. Nevertheless, it is widely available in other Markdown parsers like with GitHub alerts or Obsidian callouts and therefore is the recommend syntax for generating portable Markdown.

If you want to display a transparent expandable box without any border, you can also use the expand shortcode.

color		see notes	The CSS color value to be used. If not set, the chosen color depends on the style. Any given value will overwrite the default. - for severity styles: a nice matching color for the severity - for all other styles: the corresponding color This is not available using callout syntax.
title	2	see notes	Arbitrary text for the box title. Depending on the style there may be a default title. Any given value will overwrite the default. - for severity styles: the matching title for the severity - for all other styles: <empty> If you want no title for a severity style, you have to set this parameter to `" "` (a non empty string filled with spaces)
icon	3	see notes	Font Awesome icon name set to the left of the title. Depending on the style there may be a default icon. Any given value will overwrite the default. - for severity styles: a nice matching icon for the severity - for all other styles: <empty> If you want no icon for a severity style, you have to set this parameter to `" "` (a non empty string filled with spaces) This is not available using callout syntax.
expanded		<empty>	Whether to draw an expander and how the content is displayed. - <empty>: no expander is drawn and the content is permanently shown - `true`: the expander is drawn and the content is initially shown - `false`: the expander is drawn and the content is initially hidden

Settings

Defining own Styles

Option Besides the predefined style values from above, you are able to define your own.

hugo.

[params]
  [[params.boxStyle]]
    color = 'gold'
    i18n = ''
    icon = 'rainbow'
    identifier = 'magic'
    title = 'Magic'

params:
  boxStyle:
  - color: gold
    i18n: ""
    icon: rainbow
    identifier: magic
    title: Magic

{
   "params": {
      "boxStyle": [
         {
            "color": "gold",
            "i18n": "",
            "icon": "rainbow",
            "identifier": "magic",
            "title": "Magic"
         }
      ]
   }
}

The style parameter used in a shortcode must match the identifier in the configuration. The title for the style will be determined from the configured title. If no title but a i18n is set, the title will be taken from the translation files by that key. The title may be empty in which case, the box does not contain a default title. icon and color are working similar.

You can also redefine the predefined styles if you’re not satisfied with the default values.

Below is a usage example.
