GitHub now officially supports callouts (they call them Alerts and they are the same syntax as documentation on Microsoft Learn)¹! The real nice thing is that they match the syntax that Obsidian decided to use for their callouts.

One thing to be aware of is that GitHub has 5 distinct styles that aren’t distinct in Obsidian where there is use of aliases for some of the callout types. For instance:

> ![warning] and ![caution]

In Obsidian produce the same callout styling:

In GitHub they are distinct:

I’ve been taking advantage of this new support to write support documentation for work in Obsidian and copying and pasting over to my GitHub files which has been very convenient.
