How to make a styled Markdown admonition box in a GitHub Gist?

Question

I am trying to make a Markdown admonition box such as note box, warning box for GitHub Gist. I do some search on Google I find Python markdown admonition but these admonitions don't seem to work on GitHub Gist.

I have tried following Python warning admonition But this markdown syntax doesn't work on GitHub Gist.

!!! Hello Admonition 

I also tried bootstrap boxes like this but it does not have style as expected:

<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">     <div class="row vertical-align">         <div class="col-xs-1 text-center">             <i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle fa-2x"></i>         </div>         <div class="col-xs-11">                 <strong>Error:</strong>                            </div>        </div>  </div> 

Is there any admonition syntax or HTML code method for GitHub Gist?

Use emoji to call the user attention

Here is list of others emojis (just copy paste):

Or you can also use GitHub markdown:

You can make a box with some bold text in by using tables, like so:

| WARNING: be careful to baz the quux before initializing the retro encabulator! | | --- | 

This renders like this:

It's a bit of an abuse of syntax, but it works. There's unfortunately no way to apply other formatting like colours, as Chris noted.
