Style the Admonition Text for PDF

Abstract

Learn how to style the body text in admonitions for PDF outputs. Choose the font and set the size and color.

Admonitions have body text that provides the user with information. Typically, the body text is in para elements, but you can also include lists and other types of content. We recommend that you keep admonitions short and concise.

A tip admonition. It has a title "Tip", an icon, and some body text. There is a callout box around the body text to highlight it.

To style the body text for PDF outputs, use the settings on the PDF layout:

  1. Select Layout in the top menu.

    Paligo editor. The Layout option in the header menu is highlighted.

    Paligo displays a list of Layouts. The list is empty if there are no custom Layouts in your Paligo instance.
