a post with custom blockquotes
This post shows how to add custom styles for blockquotes. Based on jekyll-gitbook implementation.
We decided to support the same custom blockquotes as in jekyll-gitbook, which are also found in a lot of other sites’ styles. The styles definitions can be found on the _base.scss file, more specifically:
/* Tips, warnings, and dangers */
.post .post-content blockquote {
&.block-tip {
border-color: var(--global-tip-block);
background-color: var(--global-tip-block-bg);
p {
color: var(--global-tip-block-text);
}
h1,
h2,
h3,
h4,
h5,
h6 {
color: var(--global-tip-block-title);
}
}
&.block-warning {
border-color: var(--global-warning-block);
background-color: var(--global-warning-block-bg);
p {
color: var(--global-warning-block-text);
}
h1,
h2,
h3,
h4,
h5,
h6 {
color: var(--global-warning-block-title);
}
}
&.block-danger {
border-color: var(--global-danger-block);
background-color: var(--global-danger-block-bg);
p {
color: var(--global-danger-block-text);
}
h1,
h2,
h3,
h4,
h5,
h6 {
color: var(--global-danger-block-title);
}
}
}
A regular blockquote can be used as following:
> This is a regular blockquote
> and it can be used as usual
This is a regular blockquote and it can be used as usual
These custom styles can be used by adding the specific class to the blockquote, as follows:
> ##### TIP
>
> A tip can be used when you want to give advice
> related to a certain content.
{: .block-tip }
TIP
A tip can be used when you want to give advice related to a certain content.
> ##### WARNING
>
> This is a warning, and thus should
> be used when you want to warn the user
{: .block-warning }
WARNING
This is a warning, and thus should be used when you want to warn the user
> ##### DANGER
>
> This is a danger zone, and thus should
> be used carefully
{: .block-danger }
DANGER
This is a danger zone, and thus should be used carefully
