How to create boxed text without title in Sphinx?

Question

There are several directives in Sphinx to create a boxed text, ex .. note:: or .. topic::, but they all include a title. Is it possible to create a boxed text without title?

Answer 1

You can use Generic Admonition.

.. admonition:: \ \ 

   You can use a `Generic Admonition`_

.. hint::
   | Generic Admonition still requires a title, but an escaped whitespace can be used!
   | 
   | This can be convenient, because the box uses a style consistent with other admonitions.
   |
   | And might spare you from having to fiddle with CSS while Rome burns :)
