Which Admonition Parts Can You Style?

Abstract

What parts of an admonition can you customize for your PDF outputs? Find out in this article.

The PDF layout has Admonitions settings for styling the notes, cautions, and other admonitions in your PDF outputs. Use the settings to style the various parts of an admonition:

A caution admonition. It has two columns. The left column is narrower and contains a symbol. The right column has a title and the text for the admonition. The background of the admontion is yellow. There is a callout number 1 above the left column. A 2 is next to the symbol, a 3 next to the title, a 4 next to the text, and a 5 on the background.

  1. The spacing around the admonition

  2. The icon for graphical admonitions

  3. The title

  4. The body text

  5. The admonition box (the container that the icon, title, and text are inside).

The Admonitions settings are divided into three categories:

  • General

    The General settings apply to all admonitions in your PDF output. It is here that you tell Paligo to use graphical or nongraphical admonitions.

  • Graphical

    The Graphical settings only apply to admonitions if the layout is set to use graphical admonitions (which it is by default).

    Graphical admonitions have a box that, by default, contains two columns. The left-side column is narrower and contains an icon that represents the type of admonition. The right-side column contains the title and body text.

  • Nongraphical

    The Nongraphical settings only apply to admonitions when you have set the layout to use non-graphical admonitions.

    Non-graphical admonitions have a single column with a title, body text and no icon.

You will need to use the settings in the General category and one of the other categories, depending on whether you want graphical or nongraphical admonitions.
