In 2023 GitHub introduced "Alerts" (New Markdown extension: Alerts provide distinctive styling for significant content - GitHub Changelog), which have become invaluable for many users to make Markdown files much more readable. They are now starting to become a standard in many editors.
It would be great to have them supported in Joplin as well.
I know there is a Joplin Admonition Plugin (GitHub - maxnegro/joplin-plugin-admonition: Joplin markdown plugin for custom containers). However, this is no longer maintained (the last commit is from 4 years ago), and use a completely different syntax.

The is also the Alerts Perfect Plugin which appears to use the same block quote style used by GitHub although the render style is different.

Thank you very much, I had somehow missed that!
I also see that someone else has already asked about the compatibility with the GitHub Alerts (GitHub flavour · Issue #1 · jl15988/joplin-plugin-alerts-perfect · GitHub).
It is unfortunate that this plugin contains only a few commits from a year ago. I hope the author decides to continue to update it.
Do you think it is a feature that will be introduced soon directly into Joplin? (like the support for other Markdown features, KaTeX, or Mermaid)
hey @daniporr
When I saw GitHub Alerts I immediately loved the idea and decided to write plugin for it on my own.
