+### Working with blockquotes
+
+Martian supports two types of blockquotes:
+
+1. Standard blockquotes:
+
+```md
+> This is a regular blockquote
+> It can span multiple lines
+```
+
+2. Callouts (inspired by [ReadMe's markdown callouts](https://docs.readme.com/rdmd/docs/callouts)):
+
+```md
+> 📘 **Note:** This is a callout with a blue background
+> It supports all markdown formatting and can span multiple lines
+
+> ❗ **Warning:** This is a callout with a red background
+> Perfect for important warnings
+```
+
+Callouts are automatically detected when a blockquote starts with an emoji. The emoji determines the callout's background color:
+
+- 📘 (blue): Perfect for notes and information
+- 👍 (green): Success messages and tips
+- ❗ (red): Warnings and important notices
+- 🚧 (yellow): Work in progress or caution notices
+
+If a blockquote doesn't start with one of these emojis, it will be rendered as notion quote block.
+
 ### Working with Notion's limits
 
 Sometimes a Markdown input would result in an output that would be rejected by the Notion API: here are some options to deal with that.
