A Note is an admonition set off
from the main text.
In some types of documentation, the semantics of admonitions are clearly
defined (Caution might imply the possibility of harm to
equipement whereas Warning might imply harm to a person),
but DocBook makes no such assertions.
Formatted as a displayed block. Often outputs the generated text “Note”
or some other visible indication of the type of admonition,
especially if a Title is not present. Sometimes
outputs a graphical icon or another symbol as well.
