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 However, this is no longer maintained (the last commit is from 4 years ago), and use a completely different syntax.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.

Github Alerts
[Joplin] [GitHub] [npm]
GitHub Alerts are a Markdown extension based on the blockquote syntax that you can use to emphasize critical information.
They are displayed with distinctive GitHub colors and icons to indicate the significance of the content.

@alan-null Thank you so much for your reply and for creating this plugin!
It is really great to have them in Joplin
@alan-null will there be support for Mobile version of Joplin in the near future? I love this plugin and would be great to see it working on my iPhone app too.
@Tormung it should already work fine since v1.0.3
(tested on Android only, no iOS device)
Just to be clear. This is my plugin
I see that you created issue here:

I recently installed this plugin in Joplin as I wanted to find a new elegant way… to display my Admonitions in notes. GitHub admonitions are cool but Alerts Perfect plugin takes the elegance to the next level for sure.
Is this an expected behavior or will there be support for mobile devices like Android and iOS in the near future?
so I believe you're using the wrong one.
I see, you're the creator of GitHub Alerts plugin. Yes, I am using another Plugin called Alerts Perfect. It is not available for iOS either. Bummer!
