Callout
Callout — the built-in admonition box, shown across all four severities (success, info, caution, warning).
The built-in callout tag renders a titled, colored admonition with a severity
color and a matching icon. severity is one of success (green), info
(primary), caution (yellow), or warning (red); title is optional; and the
block body is the message. Close it with {% endCallout %}.
Use it as {% callout %} in Markdown, or call it from Python
logic (loops, snippets) via component('aardvark', 'callout', …).
Demonstrations
Severities
Set severity to success, info, caution, or warning — one titled example
of each:
Your changes were saved successfully.
This setting only applies to new projects.
This will overwrite uncommitted local changes.
Deleting a project cannot be undone.
{% callout title="All systems go" severity="success" %}
Your changes were saved successfully.
{% endCallout %}
{% callout title="Good to know" severity="info" %}
This setting only applies to new projects.
{% endCallout %}
{% callout title="Double-check this" severity="caution" %}
This will overwrite uncommitted local changes.
{% endCallout %}
{% callout title="This is a destructive action" severity="warning" %}
Deleting a project cannot be undone.
{% endCallout %}
component('aardvark', 'callout', severity='success',
title='All systems go',
children='Your changes were saved successfully.')
component('aardvark', 'callout', severity='info',
title='Good to know',
children='This setting only applies to new projects.')
component('aardvark', 'callout', severity='caution',
title='Double-check this',
children='This will overwrite uncommitted local changes.')
component('aardvark', 'callout', severity='warning',
title='This is a destructive action',
children='Deleting a project cannot be undone.')
Without a title
title is optional — omit it for a plain icon + message:
The icon and color still convey the severity when there’s no title.
{% callout severity="info" %}
The icon and color still convey the severity when there's no title.
{% endCallout %}
component('aardvark', 'callout', severity='info',
children='The icon and color still convey the severity when there\'s no title.')
With other components
The block body is full Markdown, so a callout can wrap lists, links, inline code, and other tags:
Check the following first:
- Your working tree is clean (
git status). - The
productionenvironment variables are set. - You’re on the right branch.
{% callout title="Before you deploy" severity="caution" %}
Check the following first:
- Your working tree is clean (`git status`).
- The `production` environment variables are set.
- You're on the right branch.
{% endCallout %}
component('aardvark', 'callout', severity='caution',
title='Before you deploy',
children=(
'Check the following first:\n\n'
'- Your working tree is clean (`git status`).\n'
'- The `production` environment variables are set.\n'
'- You\'re on the right branch.'))
Attributes
| Attribute | Valid values | Description |
|---|---|---|
severity |
success, info (default), caution, warning |
Severity color and matching icon. An unknown value falls back to info. |
title |
Any string | Optional bold heading shown above the message. Omit it for a plain icon + message. |
| (body) | Markdown | The message, written between {% callout %} and {% endCallout %} (children= from Python). |
CSS Selectors
Each callout carries data-aardvark-island="Callout" on its wrapper, and the rendered Mantine Alert exposes its parts as mantine-Alert-* classes — target either to style it from your theme CSS.
[data-aardvark-island="Callout"] {
/* style every callout on the page */
}
.mantine-Alert-root {
/* the root part */
}
.mantine-Alert-title {
/* the title part */
}
.mantine-Alert-message {
/* the message part */
}
.mantine-Alert-icon {
/* the icon part */
}
Injecting Attributes
attr={…} forwards raw HTML attributes (including event handlers) straight onto the rendered element.

{% callout title="All systems go" severity="success" attr={'onclick': '''
const value = this.innerText;
console.log('attr demo value:', value);
alert(value);
'''} %}
Your changes were saved successfully.
{% endCallout %}
component('aardvark', 'callout', title='All systems go', severity='success',
