+:::{admonition} Using reStructuredText vs. MyST Markdown
+:class: tip
 The examples on this page use **MyST Markdown syntax**, a form of markdown that works with Sphinx directives. You can also use reStructuredText if you wish. For information about reStructuredText vs. MyST Markdown, see [the MyST Parser documentation](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using/syntax.html) as well as [](examples/rst) for some tips.
