6.4 - Notes and admonishments


The NOTE element is used when you want to draw the readers attention to some point or other. For example:

<note role="NOTE" src="info.gif">
The "partial-window-name" parameter must exactly match the beginning
 characters of the window name (as it appears on the title bar), 
including proper case (capital or lower letters) and any punctuation.
</note>
This is typically rendered as:

The text of the ROLE attribute (if given) is inserted at the start of the note in a bold font and followed by a colon. Typical roles are TIP, NOTE, WARNING and ERROR. The SRC attribute may be used to name a URL or URN as an icon which is displayed in the left margin at the start of the note. An upright hand icon is often used for tips; a warning road sign for warnings and a stop sign for errors*1. Horizontal rules are drawn automatically to help readers distinguish the note from the surrounding text. You can place horizontal rules in other parts of your document using the <HR> element which can appear anywhere a <P> element is allowed.
