Callout Examples
Axis supports Obsidian-style callouts. Here are the available types:
Use notes for general supplementary information that adds context.
Tips highlight best practices or shortcuts the reader might not know.
Warnings flag potential issues or things that could go wrong.
Important callouts draw attention to critical details.
Caution callouts are stronger than warnings. Use them for actions that could cause data loss or breaking changes.
Configuration
Use the Axis Settings Obsidian plugin to change settings without editing any files. Every option, from themes and fonts to feature toggles and navigation, is controlled through the plugin’s UI.
For those who prefer direct editing, all settings live in src/config.ts with [CONFIG:KEY] markers that the plugin reads and writes.
