Callouts extend to following lines

When write this:

> [!info] Title
> Contents
New line

the new line is interpreted by the editor as part of the callout.

Is this intended behavior, or a bug? I would have expected that only lines starting with > were included in the callout.

You need to separate “New Line” with a blank line from the callout:

> [!info] Title
> Contents

New line

Yes, I understand that if I add a blank line, it will break the callout.

The question is whether this is the intended behavior. Why can’t the callout extend only up to the lines that begin with > ?

It is a matter of standards, and Obsidian expect there to be a blank line to separate the blocks.

Why do you need/want it to work without the line? But yes, this is the intended behavior within Obsidian.

I find the extra white space (due to the blank line) distracting.

Alright then it’s not a bug. Though I would suggest that, since callout lines are starting with >, just stick to that and leave lines below that do not start with > outside the callout. Though I realize at this point this would probably be a breaking change, so probably not worth it.
