+## GitHub-flavored Alerts
+
+VitePress also supports [GitHub-flavored alerts](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#alerts) to render as callouts. They will be rendered the same as the [custom containers](#custom-containers).

 ## Syntax Highlighting in Code Blocks
 
 VitePress uses [Shikiji](https://github.com/antfu/shikiji) (an improved version of [Shiki](https://shiki.matsu.io/)) to highlight language syntax in Markdown code blocks, using coloured text. Shiki supports a wide variety of programming languages. All you need to do is append a valid language alias to the beginning backticks for the code block:
