# Damask showcase

Everything the theme adds, each with the Markdown that makes it. Copy any block into your own notes.

> [!tip] Before you start
> - **Palettes and options** (seven palettes, line height, ruled paper, plain headings…) live in the **Style Settings** plugin: *Settings → Community plugins → Browse → Style Settings*, then *Settings → Style Settings → Damask*.
> - **Fonts** work out of the box. To use your own, set it in *Settings → Appearance → Font*.
> - **Recommended: Damask Studio**, the companion plugin, inserts any of these blocks from a gallery in one click and previews every palette live. *Settings → Community plugins → Browse → Damask Studio*.

## Ruled sheet

```markdown
> [!lined|title] A note to self
> Jasmine blooms from May to October.
> Its best hour is just after sunset.
```

As with poems, `|title` shows the heading; leave it out for a plain sheet.

> [!lined|title] A note to self
> Jasmine blooms from May to October.
> Its best hour is just after sunset.

To rule a whole note, add `dm-lined` to its `cssclasses` property (or switch on *Ruled paper in every note* in Style Settings).

## Obsidian's own callouts

Recoloured in the palette: green for notes and tips, gold for warnings and questions, garnet for danger. Add `-` or `+` after the type to make any callout foldable.

```markdown
> [!note] Note
> A note.

> [!warning] Warning
> A warning.

> [!danger]- Folded until clicked
> Hidden content.
```

> [!note] Note
> A note.

> [!tip] Tip
> A tip.

> [!warning] Warning
> A warning.

> [!question] Question
> A question.

> [!danger]- Folded until clicked
> Hidden content.

## Everyday Markdown

- [ ] A task
- [x] A finished task

| Palette | Mode |
