Adding a callout or quote block

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

There is no way to highlight an information in Tana currently as a standalone block. For e.g. I was writing a note about array type in typescript and i wanted to add a special note that "number[] is different from [number].
I am migrating from logseq which has a callout, which helps me add this information inside a highlighted box so that I will know that this is some extra information. Screenshot 2024-09-15 233249.png

Why is this a problem for you?

I have been using note taking tools for the past year. I have used them mostly for taking technical notes specially related to coding. In most of the apps there is a dedicated callout or quote block to highlight some information with context to the topic or the point.
This information could be:

  • a warning information like how can something go wrong.
  • an important information like pay attention to this point before using.
  • a note information like adding some related information but with high priority.
    etc.

Suggest a solution

I was just browsing through youtube and I saw something in Capacities App, they are grouping nodes to make a group which can then be highlighted and can be used as an alternative to callouts.
Logseq is using a markdown syntax to solve this problem.
