Docusaurus Admonitions

How the formatter preserves Docusaurus admonition syntax

The formatter preserves Docusaurus admonition syntax (:::note, :::tip, :::warning, etc.) intact during formatting. This is controlled by the preserveAdmonitions option.

Without this feature, the ::: syntax would be parsed as regular text and potentially broken by the formatter.

Admonition syntax is preserved as-is. The formatter does not modify content inside admonitions. This works because the formatter's line-based approach does not modify content it does not specifically target.

Rules

• Admonition fences (:::) are preserved exactly as written

• Content inside admonitions is not reformatted

• Admonition titles (:::tip[Title]) are preserved

• All Docusaurus admonition types are supported: note, tip, info, warning, danger, caution
