+---
+This post shows how to add custom styles for blockquotes. Based on [jekyll-gitbook](https://github.com/sighingnow/jekyll-gitbook) implementation.
+
+We decided to support the same custom blockquotes as in [jekyll-gitbook](https://sighingnow.github.io/jekyll-gitbook/jekyll/2022-06-30-tips_warnings_dangers.html), which are also found in a lot of other sites' styles. The styles definitions can be found on the [_base.scss](https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio/blob/master/_sass/_base.scss) file, more specifically:
+
+```scss
+/* Tips, warnings, and dangers */
+.post .post-content blockquote {
+    &.block-tip {
+    border-color: var(--global-tip-block);
+    background-color: var(--global-tip-block-bg);
+
+    p {
+      color: var(--global-tip-block-text);
+    }
+
+    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
+      color: var(--global-tip-block-title);
+    }
+  }
+
+  &.block-warning {
+    border-color: var(--global-warning-block);
+    background-color: var(--global-warning-block-bg);
+
+    p {
+      color: var(--global-warning-block-text);
+    }
+
+    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
+      color: var(--global-warning-block-title);
+    }
+  }
+
+  &.block-danger {
+    border-color: var(--global-danger-block);
+    background-color: var(--global-danger-block-bg);
+
+    p {
+      color: var(--global-danger-block-text);
+    }
+
+    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
+      color: var(--global-danger-block-title);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+A regular blockquote can be used as following:
+
+```markdown
+> This is a regular blockquote
+> and it can be used as usual
+```
+
+> This is a regular blockquote
+> and it can be used as usual
+
+These custom styles can be used by adding the specific class to the blockquote, as follows:
+
+```markdown
+> ##### TIP
+>
+> A tip can be used when you want to give advice
+> related to a certain content.
+{: .block-tip }
+```
+
+> ##### TIP
+>
+> A tip can be used when you want to give advice
+> related to a certain content.
+{: .block-tip }
+
+```markdown
+> ##### WARNING
+>
+> This is a warning, and thus should
+> be used when you want to warn the user
+{: .block-warning }
+```
+
+> ##### WARNING
+>
+> This is a warning, and thus should
+> be used when you want to warn the user
+{: .block-warning }
+
+```markdown
+> ##### DANGER
+>
+> This is a danger zone, and thus should
+> be used carefully
+{: .block-danger }
+```
+
+> ##### DANGER
+>
+> This is a danger zone, and thus should
+> be used carefully
+{: .block-danger }
