Is it possible to set the callouts background opacity and text color?

Hi folks!

First of all, thank you for this great system! I've been testing Quadro and I'd like to suggest 2 modifications to the Callouts options, to enable better control when generating a custom dark mode (both HTML and PDF):

1. Add an option to customize the background color opacity for the entire callout and also its title. Reference: /src/resources/filters/quarto-pre/callout.lua#L302 /src/resources/filters/quarto-pre/callout.lua#L303 /src/resources/filters/quarto-pre/callout.lua#L351

2. Add the coltext to the options and also attribute it to a variable.

If you prefer this suggestion as a PR, please let me know. :)

Thank you, Sergio

Hi Sergio,

This is a great suggestion- if you would like to try making a PR for it, we would appreciate it very much.

Here are the details on contributing via PR (note our request for a contributor agreement): https://quarto.org/about.html#pull-requests

For callouts in particular, we support them in PDF/TeX, HTML, Docx, RevealJS, and ePub, so ideally the PR would make the options consistent and accessible across all of those formats...

To be able to create new ones it's a little outside of scope, I'm afraid. But I'll try it!
