Getting Started with Custom Callouts in Obsidian

Text Companion: https://animalcracker.link/GHoF6hS3 Callouts are a simple way to visually separate information in your notes. I like callouts for a few reasons: They produce very human readable markdown, so even when unrendered the information is easy to ready, they are easy to color code for purpose, they don't require a plugin. Let me show you how to make your own, show you my custom ones, and share a cool plugin that will make it so easy to use callouts in your notes.
