# Notes & warnings

Infusion acknowledges that simple markdown is limiting when it comes to writing compelling documentation, so it provides a number of “shortcodes”. Shortcodes offer a simple syntax for including rich content. For example, Infusion provides shortcodes for including notes and warnings.

## Notes

You may wish to pick out some content in your pattern’s documentation as a note — an aside to the main thrust of the pattern’s description. This is possible using the following syntax:

    {{% note %}}
    This is a note! It's something the reader may like to know about but is supplementary to the main content. Use notes when something may be interesting but not critical.
    {{% /note %}}

Notes render like this:

This is a note! It’s something the reader may like to know about but is supplementary to the main content. Use notes when something may be interesting but not critical.

## Warnings

Warnings are like notes, but with more urgency.

    {{% warning %}}
    This is a warning! It's about something the reader should be careful to do or to avoid doing. Use warnings when something could go wrong.
    {{% /warning %}}

Warnings render like this:

This is a warning! It’s about something the reader should be careful to do or to avoid doing. Use warnings when something could go wrong.
