+Admonition
+==========
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+This extension adds [rST-style][rST] admonitions to Markdown documents.
+
+This extension is included in the standard Markdown library.
+
+[rST]: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#specific-admonitions
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+Admonitions are created using the following syntax:
+
+    !!! type "optional explicit title within double quotes"
+        Any number of other indented markdown elements.
+
+        This is the second paragraph.
+
+`type` will be used as the CSS classname and as default title. It must be a
+single word. So, for instance:
+
+    !!! note
+        You should note that the title will be automatically capitalized.
+
+will render:
+
+    <div class="admonition note">
+    <p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
+    <p>You should note that the title will be automatically capitalized.</p>
+    </div>
+
+Optionally, you can use custom titles. For instance:
+
+    !!! danger "Don't try this at home"
+        ...
+
+will render:
+
+    <div class="admonition danger">
+    <p class="admonition-title">Don't try this at home</p>
+    <p>...</p>
+    </div>
+
+If you don't want a title, use a blank string `""`:
+
+    !!! important ""
+        This is a admonition box without a title.
+
+results in:
+
+    <div class="admonition important">
+    <p>This is a admonition box without a title.</p>
+    </div>
+
+
+rST suggests the following `types`, but you're free to use whatever you want:
+    attention, caution, danger, error, hint, important, note, tip, warning.
+
+Styling
+-------
+
+There is no CSS included as part of this extension. Look up the default
+[Sphinx][sphinx] theme if you need inspiration.
