If you have been reading a few GitHub README’s lately, you would have observed few glaring changes.

GIFS

gifs have a play/pause button. Irrespective if you add it through HTML or markdown.

Markdown Alerts

If you have a blockquote,

that is this exact text.

You can add some additional stuff. You can add [!IMPORTANT] to denote it’s important. It will render with full-on colors and everything.

It’s not only restricted to IMPORTANT. The exact markdown excerpt is copied verbatim from GitHub’s official guide.

You can check it out later here. This is more of a TLDR;

> [!NOTE]
> Useful information that users should know, even when skimming content.

> [!TIP]
> Helpful advice for doing things better or more easily.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Key information users need to know to achieve their goal.

> [!WARNING]
> Urgent info that needs immediate user attention to avoid problems.

> [!CAUTION]
> Advises about risks or negative outcomes of certain actions.

Hopefully this helps a fellow markdowne craft his next masterpiece.
