Review Comment:
I am not sure how this looks like, even in rich text view it didn't show as
warning.
But I know another way to give warning.
Adding as "!!! note" will display as a block in the sitedocs.
Example:
md file:
https://github.com/projectnessie/nessie/blob/main/site/docs/tools/iceberg/spark.md#spark-via-iceberg
respective site doc:
https://projectnessie.org/tools/iceberg/spark/#spark-via-iceberg
So, According to me the below format is good. Let's see what @RussellSpitzer
thinks.
!!! note
Having the same metadata.json registered in more than one catalog can lead
to missing updates, loss of data, and table corruption. Only use this procedure
when the table is no longer registered in an existing catalog, or you are
moving a table between catalogs.
